Happy Third Anniversary!

I never thought this pair would make it this far.

In fact, "experts" believed they'd only go 90 days. Hardly three months!

But here they are still going strong. They're both kind of short and ugly. And they really aren't very smart, but people keep trying to teach them new things anyway. They're both pretty slow, though. Heck, in three years, they've only gone 10.4 miles. Combined!

Yes, Spirit and Opportunity are celebrating three years on the Red Planet! Spirit actually landed on Jan 3, 2004 and Opportunity on Jan 24, 2004, so they're a little apart, but I think we can celebrate their anniversaries at the same time.

Go Spirit and Opportunity!
