Summary
NASA uses two lover to exploration to the Martian site.Their name is "Spirit and Opportunity".One of them,spirit broke through a thin layer of crusty soil. What was underneath was extremely fine-grain soil, and Spirit's wheels quickly got stuck.So,NASA wants to get Spirit out of its predicament.This project is not easy,and it takes a lot of time.

Reaction
I think this project is very difficult because enginner need to do remote-control operation.Even if this project does not succeed I want to say "Good job!" to Spirit,because it worked longer than its designed life.

  1. Mr. Taro,
    I've heard about your robot from the nes paper.
    I think this project is very hard to come true.
    Many scientists try to it. They will fail to it.
    I think someday they will achieve it.
