Waaaaaall-eeee

The space rover Spirit recently encountered softsoil on Mars and is no longer mobile. Scientists are unsure whether they will be able to manipulate Spirit's wheels to release it from the soil. If not, Spirit may just have to sit there and study what it can. Poor Spirit! Meanwhile, Spirit's robot twin Opportunity is having a grand old time on its two year trek to the Endeavor crater.
