Title:
Attacking Mars
Explanation:
The Spirit rover [ http://marsrovers.j…] attacked Mars again in 2005 September. What might look, above, like a military attack, though, was once again just a scientific one - Spirit was instructed to closely inspect some interesting rocks near the summit of Husband Hill [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…]. Spirit's Panoramic Camera [ http://pancam.astro…] captured the rover's Instrument Deployment Device above as moved to get a closer look at an outcrop of rocks [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] named Hillary [ http://en.wikipedia…]. The Spirit rover [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…], and its twin rover Opportunity [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…], have now been exploring the red planet [ http://www.nineplan…] for over three years [ http://marsrovers.j…]. Both Spirit and Opportunity have found evidence that parts of Mars were once wet [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…].
