Even though both twin rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have won over the hearts of the world in the past five years, Spirit has been the one which has grabbed everyone's attention with her past not-so-subtle statements, "I Hate Mars!" We all realize that rovers cannot speak, but apparently the little rover Spirit did not know that when she began sending disgusted message back to her human NASA project manager caretakers back in 2006 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Little_Rover_Hates_Her_Job.htm Mon, 09 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Little_Rover_Hates_Her_Job.htm By Nancy L.

Beyond everyone's hopes and dreams they have made this small journey into one that has surpassed NASA's expectations. But quite recently, the little rover Spirit had begun to exhibit some unusual behavior that had its engineers questioning what it is doing. http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Zapping_of_the_Spirit_Rover_on_Mars.htm Mon, 09 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Zapping_of_the_Spirit_Rover_on_Mars.htm By Nancy L.

This find was published in the journal Science, stating that a seasonal variations in methane was found in the planet's atmosphere. This find demonstrated evidence of geological or biological processes to back this statement, with astrophysicist Geronimo Villaneuva stating, "Mars could be more active than we have long believed". http://www.akgmag.com/article/Renewed_Hope_of_Life_on_Mars.htm Sat, 07 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Renewed_Hope_of_Life_on_Mars.htm
