Catch22,

On the plus side, the Spirit rover rolled down an alternate ramp last night, the primary one being blocked. As it touched down on the Martian surface, the rover had about a 4 inch drop.

Images taken from Spirit's rear camera showed the landing pad behind the rover and tracks leading away on the Martian soil. Pictures from the front of the rover show "Sleepy Hollow", a depression near where Spirit touched down.

Yeah Team!

In 9 days the second of the pair, Opportunity, makes its scheduled landing on the other side of Mars. Let’s hope for a second success.
