sanity prevails

Great news for the Mars Rover program.

These amazing robots and the even more amazing team(s) of people making the science happen won't be shut down prematurely. This is great news.

"Closing down either of the rovers is not on the table," Brown quoted Griffin as saying Monday night. Then yesterday NASA released a statement that said: "This letter was not coordinated with the administrator's office and is in the process of being rescinded. The administrator has unequivocally stated that no rover will be turned off."
