The truth is that they were being commandeered by drunken Martians, and NASA thought that the possible lawsuits would be astronomical. :-)

Shame, some great pics, and they never did find poor little beagle :-)

hmm, no real feelings, I think now is when we need to divert those funds into a tanking economy. temp of course

Fortunately, if they are being shut down, it's only so that they can weather the Martian winter. Today's story: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/03/27/MN02VQUS1.DTL&type=science I would be angry if they permanently shut down the Mars Rovers. Many many robotic missions can be funded for the price of a single manned mission. There are tasks in space for which it is still more cost effective to send men for, but a journey to Mars is certainly not one of them.

It doesn't really BOTHER me, but it is a bummer that they aren't going explore Mars more.
