| More news on Spirit's problem follows. You gotta love the last sentence:
Quote:
Trosper said the problem appeared to be that the rover's flash memory couldn't handle the number of files it was storing. The jam-up, she said, apparently kept Spirit from shutting down properly and performing a number of functions that normally originated in its flash memory.
Scientists are still analyzing the data, she said, but would begin deleting unnecessary files to test that theory.
She pointed out that the scientists had thoroughly tested the rover's systems on Earth, but that the longest trial for the file system was nine days, half of the 18 days Spirit operated before running into the problem. |
Maybe NASA should take a clue from Hyperion, and release something only...

You don't seriously believe that NASA would run Windows on a spacecraft? |
Too right, they wouldn't! Since when do robots need windows?
Like R2D2, they'd just jack into the guidance console for information!
