Somewhat old news by now, but the Mars Rover Spirit is now well on its way to recovery. It’s been fun to watch the media and JPL team alike use the sick-patient vocabulary, calling Spirit at first in “critical” condition, then “serious,” “stable,” and now “in rehab.”

Space.com’s Mars Rover page also has a link to zoomable and pannable Rover images. The feature requires installing a plugin for your browser and the image I tried took about a minute to download over my DSL connection, but this could be a cool tool to use as more images are released.
