Destination Mars by Rod Pyle
Author:Rod Pyle
Language: eng
Format: epub
Publisher: Prometheus Books
Across the planet, Spirit continued its mission, steady and sure. If rovers had emotions, surely this machine—only the second mission to land on Mars and first of its generation—would resent its higher-profile sibling. By no fault of its own, Spirit had landed in an old lava flow inside a crater, with little to offer beyond some smaller craters that might provide some insight. Compared to Opportunity, which had struck pay dirt, it was a distant second at this point in time. A bit like hitting a vein of pyrite when your neighbor hits gold. Not the worst thing, but a pale second place.
Fortunately, robots have no hearts to break. Spirit looked toward the Columbia Hills, just over a mile distant, and rolled onward.
