permlink brief: Go, NASA Mars team

KWTX | Mars Rover Escapes From Sand Trap
The Mars Opportunity Rover team spent nearly five weeks working on a long-distance project to extricate the rover from a sand trap on the red planet and the work finally paid off. ... Engineers essentially rocked the rover out of the sand from a distance of 108 million miles.

...Opportunity and the Rover Spirit have been studying geology on opposite sides of Mars for more than a year since completing their three-month main mission last April.
