Hi,
A news portal I check periodically had a brief story on recent analyses about the Martian climatic history:

It includes a link to the NASA Rover site, which deservedly made a big deal about the fact that the Mar's Rovers (Spirit and Opportunity) have been active on Mars for close to one Martian year:
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html
It is amazing to me that this much time has passed, and the Rovers are still actively exploring. It doesn't seem like it's been roughly two earth years since they first touched down.
After some well-publicized blunders, it's good to see NASA have some success again.
How blase we have become that this has gotten almost no mention in the news media (at least, that I've seen)!
Regards,
Dako-ta
