It's not back 100%... but at least it is transmitting again. It recently sent 20 minutes worth of data at 120 bits per second... let see here... that comes out to 144,000 bits.
Well that?s it! I'm convinced that Jehover had something to do with it! I'm making a B-Line straight to the nearest kingdumb hall and will commence to moon the elders!
I think the Martians did a reformat, and all the data being sent is bogus...that way we won't know they're up there.
The aliens finally learned how to work it!
It's a windows operating system that's been set to "crash when used."
Maybe it's in Safe Mode.
What a relief, though. I hope they can figure it out and get back a higher transmission rate. Or maybe we'll just have to forgo those expensive pictures and concentrate on experiment data. At any rate, hooray for the NASA guys and gals!

NASA needs to keep the good news rolling. Glad this is working out for them. Hey, the Europeans confirmed there is indeed water ice at the poles....live?
