Amazing. When you think of the sheer scales of distance of an operation like this, it completely boggles the mind. Unbelievable scientific achievement--and stunning photographs, to boot!

I guess the rovers only had a '30 day guarentee' to operate, and I think they've been going for months and months, so we're getting fantastic bang for our buck with these things.

I saw a story on CNN yesterday saying they were going to pilot one of the rovers right into the crater, dangerous and tricky, but could provide some more awsome photographs.
