Just when everything was going so well with NASA's latest mission.
They've lost contact with Spirit. More accurately, Spirit has stopped sending intelligible data. The radio is working, but it's no longer sending real data. In typically dry NASA-speak there is "a very serious anomaly on the vehicle."
I hope they re-establish contact. I hope the mission - and it's twin, set to land on Saturday - is a resounding success after this. But past Mars missions don't leave much hope for that.
