The View from the Top of Husband Hill 184
chriscrick writes "After 14 months of climbing, the Mars rover Spirit has reached the summit of Husband Hill, 269 feet above the edge of the Martian plain. The panoramic view from the top is spectacular. According to lead scientist Steve Squyres, 'What field geologists typically do - and Spirit is a robotic field geologist - is you climb to the top of the nearest hill and take a look around so you get the lay of the land and figure out where you want to go.'"

Rumour has it the FEMA director was last spotted there.

Surely he could've at the least found some carbon-based life...

(Actually, no, I guess it's not. If I hadn't been sarcastic in my post, I guess it would've done a good job of stomping out a lame Bush-is-evil whine.)

All you need to do is go up to Spirit and retrieve the CD in the left front hubcap.
BTW: while you are doing this, NASA would be grateful if you could bring back a few kilograms of assorted mars rock.

Pffft. That's got to be a fake. There's no Circle K in the shot.
