Alicia Chang reported today that, according to project manager John Callas, the last attempt to uplink a command to the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit will be made tomorrow. NASA will cease listening for signals from Spirit on Tuesday. While it would totally be in Spirit's character for her to wait until the last possible moment to make contact with Earth, even diehard supporters like rover driver Scott Maxwell are now admitting that Spirit has probably met her end.
