Mars Rovers Mark Five Years



It is hard to believe that the Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have been on the surface for five years now. It was supposed to be a brief, 90 day mission and they're both still roaming.

It seems like that was just a short while ago and it has been five years. Time does fly. NASA does a remarkable job of keeping the public informed about what's going on. I just don't check in as often as I should.

We live with so much information these days, from so many sources, it's hard to keep it all organized in a fashion we can actually use. But, I love it that with a few mouse clicks I can find a NASA photo from the surface of Mars to share with you. We live in amazing times.
