Here, Rover!

Apparently NASA got a ping out of the Spirit rover this morning, after a disturbing period of quiet, but still aren't getting any data back from it.

I know that I've mentioned to some of you that we've been running some tests at NRAO, where I work, to see if we can track both Mars spacecraft (part of a long-term plan to use the VLBA for tracking NASA stuff somewhere down the road). So, I just want to be perfectly clear: this was not my fault. I didn't lose the thing.
