It had been reported earlier that in order to make a 4 million dollar budget cut mandated by the US government, NASA was preparing to terminate monitoring of the Mars rover Spirit, in effect, turning it off. In a recent reversal NASA has announced that the Mars rover Spirit will not be shut down. NASA is saying that it has rescinded a letter that recommended budget cuts in the Mars Rover program to cover the cost of a next-generation rover on the Red Planet.
