Oh no! Opportunity and Spirit are imperiled: The Way to Dusty Death (BBC) and The Way to Dusty Death (NASA)! We know you can pull through, intrepid robot friends! Your human masters are rooting for you!
As ever, the most amazing thing is that Spirit and Opportunity were only "supposed" to operate for 90 sols (Martian days = 24 hours, 37 minutes) on the unforgiving Red Planet. And that was when they touched down in January 2004!
Bog, I love those plucky little robots.
Commentary: The, ahem, opportunity to pair the Mars Exploration Rovers and a Macbeth quote? Delicious.
