Posted: 13 Nov 2009 04:00 AM PST

I see nothing public service-related about the page view bait that has popped up since H1N1 started taking priority in newsrooms around the world.

NASA Engineers Aim to Unsnag Spirit

Posted: 13 Nov 2009 09:30 AM PST

For NASA's stuck Mars rover, the Spirit may be willing, but the wheels could prove too weak. The space agency on Thursday outlined a rescue plan to try to free the rover Spirit, which has been bogged in a sand trap on the red planet for half a year. The risky operation is expected to last several months. "If it cannot make the great escape from this sand trap, it's likely that this lonely spot straddling the edge of this crater might be where Spirit ends its adventures on Mars," said Doug McCuistion, who heads the Mars exploration program at NASA headquarters.
