(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
