Glitches Dog Both Mars Rovers

Posted by tourdemars to Mars Exploration Rovers at August 5, 2004 12:13 PM

In a prelude of more problems that are likely to arise, both of NASA's Mars rovers experienced glitches this week as they plow through unknown engineering territory, operating well beyond what the mission blueprints called for. The twins are working at reduced capacity while project managers try to figure out what's wrong. Both rovers had 90-day primary missions and have more than doubled that time on the surface of the red planet.

It's fantastic what the rovers have done! As to the 'glitches': I recently received telepathic information that Enki is currently in charge of the Anunaki Mars Operations. It is therefore quite conceivable that the 'glitches' are more than just glitches. So perhaps we should be very careful about putting men on Mars.
