John Prye USE THE ARM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paul Earley
Can't you use the rover's arm thingy to push away the sand? like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m26FjxEVI
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) JPL team gets a second set of "wheels" to help check out ways to "Free Spirit" from Martian soil.

A second, lighter-weight test rover has entered the testing setup at JPL where rover team members are assessing strategy for getting Spirit out of soft soil where it is embedded on Mars.
Adam Seems Obama has cancelled NASA's Constellation program. Is the future of manned space exploration in the USA really dead?

Hi!
Does the JPL do tours for the public? I'd like to take a look when I'm in CA this October.
Maybe I could take one of the Mars rovers for a spin lol
Peter J Visconti I was the VP of Sales & Marketing for the company that supplied of all of the DC-DC Converters on the original Mars Pathfinder base -I helped put over $2,000,000 of our hardward to make that mission a success.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Anyone else think this gorgeous shot of Victoria crater on Mars looks like a seashell?!
Source: www.jpl.nasa.gov
The high-resolution camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has returned a dramatic oblique view of the Martian crater that a rover explored for two years.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Been following that meteorite on Mars found by the Opportunity rover? It seems it has a story to tell about the planet.
Source: www.jpl.nasa.gov
NASA's Mars Rover Opportunity is investigating a metallic meteorite the size of a large watermelon that is providing researchers more details about the Red Planet's environmental history.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) A planet crash, vaporized rock and lava. Check out a cool artist's concept, based on a Spitzer telescope find:

NASA/JPL's Moon Mapper Beholds Moon - http://www.nasa.gov/topics/moonmars/feat
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Yup, it's true--turns out that rock on Mars is a meteorite. Opportunity rover confirms it (grab your 3-D glasses, if you have 'em): http://bit.ly/oTGyL
Source: bit.ly
Composition measurements by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity confirm that this rock on the Martian surface is an iron-nickel meteorite.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Check out pix of a possible meteorite on Mars, as seen by the rover Opportunity: http://bitURL.net/?k8q3ep
Source: bitURL.net
The Opportunity rover has eyed an odd-shaped, dark rock, about 0.6 meters (2 feet) across on the surface of Mars, which may be a meteorite.
