(AP) - NASA's Spirit rover has stopped transmitting data from Mars in an ominous turn that baffled engineers and sent them scrambling desperately Thursday to figure out what brought the mission to a potentially calamitous halt. NASA received its last significant data from the unmanned Spirit early Wednesday, its 19th day on the surface of Mars. Since then, the six-wheeled vehicle has sent either random, meaningless radio noise or simple beeps acknowledging it has received commands from Earth.

"'The chances of anything coming from Mars, are a million to one', he said. 'The chances of anything coming from Mars, are a million to one', but still they come." - Jeff Wayne's rock opera of "War Of The Worlds", 1978

Umm, *waves* could I put in a request for just the one Mp3 of that one tune [eve of the war]. It being the only one I really want.

I did have it on CD and Vinyl. But my tunrtable is very, very dead and I loaned the CD to an ex-friend, who never returned it.

Mayhap you could email me the mp3...

I could certainly try. Mind, email server tend to be snarky about size limits, so we may have to figure a secondary way.
