send some DATA right over

NASA has not heard from the rover in over 24hrs, I wonder if Marvin the Martian is taking it for a ride.

I bet it was that wascally wabbit....

It'll be the same lot who pinched the British probe - have the Scousers got there already? ;)

LMAO@the mental pic of Martin the Martian riding "the bull"!

Damn! I wonder what actually happened?

Looks like the Great Galactic Ghoul has struck again!

I heard that they got beeps and radio fuzz and knew their messages were getting to it but could not get anything substancial back from it now.

It was probably,Ben & J-Los fault.They are not transmitting anymore,either! Irish

gentlefolk,

The BBC reports now that there have been two "good" communications.

NASA has put their best man on the job!

I'll bet if they look behind the rover,they'll find it unplugged.heh heh hhe

Catch22,

That was the Smart thing to do!

Just heard that it is a software problem. They are trying to reboot the rover, but it may take up to 2 weeks to get the software updated.

Gentlefolk,

The Mars rover Opportunity has rolled off its lander on to the surface of the planet, a week after arrival. The operation went as planned with the rover travelling a distance of three meters.

The science can now start for Opportunity.

Yeah team!

Is it running a Windows OS? In which case there will be a patch out in about 3 months if enough people complain

Glyndwr,

That's harsh dude! Real harsh!
