Aw, poor Spirit! But then, it also kind of reminds me of this old Ikea commercial, too ;)

I toured JPL in October and we got to see a replica of the next generation rover. Shore up your heart; Spirit is dying, but innovation and rebirth continue.

Hooray!

And I see that other workhorses such as Cassini are still soldiering on: the jokes were inevitable in the article on the Saturnian moon Prometheus, but I'd be intrigued to know the why and wherefore of that knobbly celestial object.

There are comic strips, and there are tragic strips. There aren't many of the latter, but this is one. Thanks for sharing. Now I must cry.
