COOL!!!

As indicated by the side bar references on the Iss and of the shuttle. I am growing very concerned in that if we do not get a better source for resupply rocket by the US other than the soyuz's for the bringing of repair items and of replacement staffing soon that all will be lost in the ISS due to the shuttle grounding.

green light red light but winter will come and will there be any lights when the rovers do see light again.

Wintering over: spring back to life?

Staying alive is tougher for Spirit than it is for Opportunity. That’s due to Spirit’s higher latitude exploration zone on the red planet, Squyres reported. "We’re already looking at maps of the Columbia Hills and trying to pick a good spot to winter over," he said.

Part of the wintering over strategy will involve positioning the rovers to soak up as much continuous sunlight, even as the Sun moves low in the martian sky, Bell said. Secondly, the robots are to be oriented so that communications links with orbiters zipping overhead is maximized, he pointed out.

"It’s a combination of those two things -- finding that sweet spot," Bell said.

Coming out of hibernation mode in the spring, "we’re looking at the final demise of these vehicles perhaps as late as the onset of our second winter on Mars," Squyres concluded.
