Mars Rovers To Loose Large Portion of Funding

Not My Rovers ! 

  Sadly I must report that it appears the Mars Rovers will lose nearly 4 million dollars from its 20 million dollar budget.  Next year they are expected to take a further cut of nearly 8 millions dollars.  Worse off the funding cuts are likely to place Spirit on hibernation and job cuts of nearly 300 scientists until funding reappears. As you may know the rovers have been an amazing success.  Originally designed for 90 missions they are still scooting along nearly 4 years later, and have made many discoveries including evidence of a salted sea on Mars.   For the full story please visit CNN’s report.
