RIP Spirit. NASA finally stops radioing Mars rover Spirit.

"It's all over now for Spirit, the lonely Mars rover stuck fast in a patch of crusty Martian sand.

After a brilliant five-year career gathering evidence that the cold and arid planet may once have been warm and wet, Spirit fell into the trap two years ago, and then its radio fell silent on March 22 last year.
