But if you're talking about hacking, why go through ground networks?
Why not transmit directly to the Spirit from a ground antenna?

Very easy, break into JPL and take over the control of Spirit for a while.
Of cours you need some kind of guns, mask and a brown pants. (-:

Quite a few radio hams communicate via VHF/UHF signals using the moon as a
reflector. They also can just about detect signals from spacecraft en route
to Mars. Not sure about signals from the rovers, though. I'll bet some of
them will give it a try. Sally

I really don't think we have to worry about it. After all it's only a matter
of time before a Martian finds it. In a week or two it will be on some
Martians coffee table as a conversation pieces, just like the last two
projects that disappeared.

Nah.. just a stack of pizza. When everyone is in the conference
room stuffing their faces, lock the door and take over.

Not hard at all, if you knew Java, and had access to a trasmitter and
antenna like Deep Space Network.

Likely simple as not many bothered to consider that a risk, I bet.
However, you might spend years trying various frequencies and codes,
and that would exceed the device's life span many times over, and you
would need equipment which I doubt you have to transmit and receive
the signals.

No, they will hack it on mars and soon we will be getting spammed with:

...speaking of which, the latest announced plans pretty much kill
everything except manned missions. While I'd like to see those too,
there's a lot of good fundamental science about to be thrown out the
window for political ends.


Put Bush, Congress, and Senate on the Moon. Then let's see how they feel
about the necessary fundamental science to support getting them back.

Of course, it would be a darn shame if they couldn't come to a consensus
before their oxygen ran out.

A couple of years ago the Falung Gon hacked into and took over a
Chinese communication satellite. They controlled it for about a
WEEK!

And you would want to do this because??


It would make us Brits feel better about Beagle 2 being stuck on its
side at the bottom of a crater, or whatever it is they think has
happened to it. :-)


That's what happened! Ralsky was relaying his spam through it
so Beagle got SPEWSed!!!.

Mars is 60 times further away. The square cube law is not your friend.

Very, very doubtful. *
