I think before it dies in a few years it should go rescue the other two rovers, fix the broken wheel, dust off the solar panels and see if they can get Spirit up and running again.
My real hope is that someday a human will find them and bring them home to the Smithsonian.

Pretty cool but the CG version was more exciting. I believe that's the heat shield popping off in the beginning.

Saw that last night. Very cool and if you watch closely at the 21-22 second mark you can see the heat shield hit the ground (bottom just right of center).
Thanks for the real video. They are so much more real and interesting for that reason.
