Mars Spirit Rover Hack
I know nothing about hacking, but how easy would it be for someone besides
me to hack into the Spirit on Mars and cause it to tip over? "Please, send in every dollar you can to send George to Mars." |

Maybe 'because its there' is a reason that may be given to hack it.

"Uncle StoatWarbler" waxed rhapsodic in
news Beagle got there on a ludicrously small budget, with impossible weight limits and an impossibly short development time. "okay! the clouds parted! i see mars! "get ready... "FIRE!!" seriously, though. the u.s. lost one over martian airspace, as well, no? they're probably hanging out together on phobos, snickering, playing hearts for windos, and downloading porn. -- http://www.kexp.org listener-powered and commercial-free. |

Of course the hack would be directly to the Spirit from a ground antenna.
