Meanwhile...At Mars...

One of the two plucky rovers on Mars, Spirit, is facing a bit of a challenge in getting around on Mars. Due to soil conditions, it must drive around, rather than over, the feature known as "Home Plate" to its next destination (mission planners are looking forward three martian seasons in their planning!).

And, in orbit, the Mars Odyssey spacecraft has memory problems. Time for a reboot!
