What do you do when your rover gets stuck on Mars? Why, get it unstuck, of course. That's what NASA scientists were doing Friday to the Sojourner rover, which got jammed on a rock when one of its six wheels rolled up the side. The mishap occurred when a controller on Earth miscalculated the distance to the rock.
