Spirit communicating again

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

The Mars rover Spirit has had its troubles communicating back to Earth. Luckily, at least some data has been retrieved today.

NASA's engineers think the problem could be a caused by a software glitch. Though this is only one of the possible reasons, I hope this won't be the real reason. If nothing else, I don't want to hear that a superb mission on another planet to crash because of software bugs!

Damn, Spirit, stay alive there!
