>Opportunity’s master clock is designed to wake up the rover periodically to check its battery charge. But the rover will go back to sleep if the batteries do not hold enough electrical charge, and the clock will set a new time to wake up for another battery check.
>“A recent analysis of the rover’s long-term survivability in Mars’ extreme cold suggests Opportunity’s electronics and batteries can stay warm enough to function,” NASA officials wrote in an update Wednesday. “Regardless, the project doesn’t expect to hear back from Opportunity until the skies begin to clear over the rover.

Calm down, it's just sleeping.

Apparently this dust storm isn't even the worst it has endured.

I don't buy the whole IQ thing to be honest. When I was in high school, I took a stats class where the teacher put all our IQs on the board so that we could analyze them.

Apparently we took IQ tests without knowing it when we were children he found our scores in our files. The funny thing is everyone apparently had a triple digit IQ and about a quarter of the class was above 120.

The problem was that in reality, 95% of the students were complete dumbfucks.

Shit, how quickly can we send someone over there to brush the dust off?

Any good landing sites within walking distance or do we need to bring a car too?

We could have the Mars 2020 lander go near it, have the skycrane blow the dust off with its exhaust.
