Spirit
NASA parked the Spirit rover this week. It had gotten stuck in the sand 10 months ago, they haven’t been able to come up with any way to get it unstuck, and winter’s setting in. So after 6 years in a mission which was supposed to last 3 months, they’ve finally shut it down. That’s an awfully good run.
Our favorite take on this was today’s XKCD comic. Aww….
