Awesome! I've been following their 14 month journey - they're doing wonderous things for bots made to only last 3 months - Mars has some fucked up weather.
Did you see on the NASA site the footage of a dust devil swirling across the Meridian plain? Sweet!!!
I have to find the link (it's on the laptop and I'm on the Mac right now), but as I was surfing around NASA websites I came across an archive of photos taken by astronauts and cosmonauts in most of the manned missions EVER FLOWN. Some really neat-o stuff. You can download color-corrected full-screen shots of cities, volcanoes, whole islands...crazy. I'll find it and post it.
