Opportunity knocking again . . . .

One of our little buddies on Mars is on the move again. After been stuck in a sand dune for weeks, NASA Mission Controllers have finally been able to free the little rover named Opportunity from the sand and let it continue on it's mission.

Ya gotta hand it to the engineers, NASA, JPL and all the others that contributed to the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, both are going strong a full year after they completed their primary missions. Both rovers were designed to last longer than the three month's planned mission time, but the longevity of the little bots has surpassed everyones hopes.
