NASA Administrator Marks Successful Spirit On Mars
The following is a statement from NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe
regarding Saturday's successful landing of the first Mars Excursion
Rover (MER), Spirit, on the Martian surface.
"Congratulations to the Mars Rover team on achieving a successful
landing on the surface of Mars by the Rover Spirit. This amazing
feat, coming so soon in the New Year, is a tribute to the dedication
to the many men and women throughout NASA and our many partners who
worked extremely hard to give our amazing rovers the best chance for
success on their mission of exploration on the Red Planet.
"In a few weeks, Spirit's twin Opportunity will be landing on the
other side of the planet. The rovers will soon begin their mission to
search the rocks of Mars for signs that water may have been present
for long periods of time--signs that may tell us whether Mars could
have been hospitable to life in the past."
