I found a nice link on the NASA site that lets you see where the latest Mars rover is currently located... check out the view of Earth!

Man, they are getting close!

Sorry, about keeping on dragging this post back up to the top. I just know that these little fellows must be lonely, so far from home. It would probably make them feel better to know we were all thinking about them.

This hobby has reallly gone to my head...

Interesting link Noah, thankyou.

I have never really followed any of these missions but I spend 30 minutes cruising that site and found some great info.

Thanks for sharing.

Mark.

Great to see there's finally more talk about UNMANNED spaceflight on the forum ...
Remember there're 4 sondes underway to MARS ( 2 US = MERs + 1 European = Mars Express with Beagle lander + 1 Japanese )
These 4 unmanned craft had to endure a lot of Solar Activity ... but as we speak they're getting further away from our Sun ...
