Red Rover Red Rover Let Spirit Come Over

NASA hasn't heard a peep from the Mars Rover called "Spirit" for a year and is giving the silent baby one more month to beep something back to earth before shutting down the program.

I'm thinking, hey, this is a chance for Mercury Retrograde to strut its stuff next month. During Mercury Retrograde you're supposed to hear back from people/entities that you haven't spoken to in a long time and there will be a Mercury Retrograde almost all month starting tomorrow (Mar. 31 to Apr. 25. (I'm not big on t.Merc Rx myself so I'm not holding up hope, but what do I know?)

Mercury stations Retrograde at 25 Aries March 31, 2011 and will turn direct on Apr. 25 at 13 Aries. Aries is the sign ruled by Mars. So, come on Boy, you can do it. Talk to Mama. Yahhh, atta boy! Goo boy.

Mercury was at 9 Pisces on March 22, 2010 at the time of the last communication. Mars had just stationed Direct after a really torturous 6 month transit through Cancer where it was opposing Pluto on the AP.

Rover was launched on June 10, 2003 which makes him a Gemini. He's definitely a communicator. Tell him the latest gossip, NASA, and he'll perk right up.
