I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate NASA on going on 3 years of success with their mars rover project. On Jan 4, 2004 Spirit landed on Mars with a life expectancy of 3 months. It is still going strong along with its sibling Opportunity going on 3 years later.

Would that all things were made such.

I don't know what's more amazing, the fact that the rover's still functional after 7 years or the fact this board exists for 4 years #ni-1
