Background and further discussion

NASA's Spirit Rover landed

on Mars on January 4, 2004,

and proceeded to explore

and gather data for analyses

of the geology and geography

of the planet's surface.

Functioning much longer than

NASA had expected,

it got stuck in late 2009,

and sent its last

communication back

to NASA on March 22, 2010.
