Spirit Dies?

[classicman]

Its really quite funny - you've said you attempt to post without emotion, but is seethes out of every sentence you write.

Note: my post has no emotion in it either - just fact, yet your response . . .

More cheap shots. And not one useful contribution on the topic: the Martian Rovers. Instead you again attack others.

What criteria do you use to decide who to attack today? How many sided are your 'attack dice'?

There was no attack Tom - chill out. Sheesh.

Morethanpretty asked for a technical solution in the Technology group (Choosing an adaptor). How many times did you post without even one word to help Morethanpretty? You even got your cheap shot Ruch Limbaugh comments in there. And nothing to assist morethanpretty. Why are you everywhere posting your political agenda and cheapshots?

As usual, you are posting without contributing anything. Wacko extremism must make discussion nasty. And that is what you promote constantly.

When should we expect then next cheapshot on Obama? Maybe you could schedule these replies? Rush has a schedule. Why not you?

Nope, again I posted nothing about him - just you and you buddy.

wrong again - I made a simple joke - you and your cronie didn't like it and went off on your own attacks - try for accuracy next time.

When was the last?

I too have a schedule, just not the same as his I would assume. Since I don't know him, nonr listen to him I wouldn't know though.

After being struck in the sand for ten months, the last Spirit attempt to get out caused a third wheel failure. Ground controllers may have changed tactics. Winter is coming. Mars even on its equator is extremely harsh in the summer. In the winter, and without being able reposition, controllers are now speculating about Spirit's ability to survive this winter. So all efforts are being rechanneled into fortifying Spirit for Winter.

Spirit was always the hard luck child. Opportunity, even in development, was devoid of so many problems that plagued Spirit. Fortunately, at the highest levels of NASA, a program that was only supposed to build one risky Rover, instead charged JPL to build two in only two years. To load existing science tools (from a previous program - Athena) onto a mobile platform.

Well five years later, both Rovers that were so risky, were still doing science. Like anything that gets old, Spirit is approaching death. Caps a victory that naysayers have disparaged.

Spirit has maybe one more experiment. Using its radio and stationary location, science hopes to measure Mars expansion and contraction. Hoping to learn about Mars core. For example, why does Mars not have a protective magnetic core so necessary for human survival?

A Spirit death watch has started. Every watt that Spirit can generate will be necessary to save it from winter's chill. Mars is that inhospitable to manned exploration. Which is why programs such as Martian Rovers are where most of our science budget should be directed - and away from political agendas that get almost all NASA's budgets.

Tw, you have an allergy to the mature mindset -- one so severe that you yourself will never be an emotionally mature person in this life. It is the reason you are as repellent as you are. Without this problem you'd be a lot less so. An observation backed by many data points is not an attack; it is an assessment.

It wouldn't hurt if you actually had enough intelligence and wisdom to be a conservative -- but you can't get your mind around that idea either. No concept of it. It's an added deficiency.
