The two mars Rovers are now being described as aged. I don't know how I feel about that.
Spirit, which has begun to climb into the Columbia Hills in a region called
Gusev Crater, was previously diagnosed with a balky right front wheel. Controllers have mostly been driving it in reverse with five wheels operating, saving the remaining life of the problem wheel for situations when it is most needed.Spirit's twin, Opportunity, also has sent error messages back to Earth four times in the past two weeks while successfully taking pictures with the microscopic imager on its robotic arm, JPL said. The likely cause is that instrument cabling running along the arm is degrading.
Opportunity has descended 66 feet into Endurance Crater in the Meridiani Planum region to study increasingly older layers of bedrock. JPL said it will continue to go farther into the crater if assessments show that the rover can traverse the inner slope.
Both rovers landed on Mars in January and have long outlasted the planned
length of their primary missions — 90 martian days, the equivalent of 92 Earth
days.
A Hard-On Should Be Got Legitimately
So says Robert DeNiro's character Paul Vitti in 'Analyze This'. Well, here's an interesting report about the little blue pill with a 'v' onit that helps with getting illegitimate hard-ons.
The study of more than 5 million insured adults from 1998 to 2002 found the
fastest-growing segments of users was men aged 18 to 55 years.The number of men under 45 using the drug tripled during this time, the company reported in the International Journal of Impotence Research. And fewer of these men are using Viagra because they need to for some medical reason.
"These findings suggest increased use of Viagra as an enhancement or recreational agent," the company said in a statement.
Aah. Yes. Well... This could help blow out the Medicare system in America, they say. All I can say is that at least somebody's getting blown.
