This is a great article on NASA's twin Mars rovers, but what really caught my eye was the following comment (located about 3/4 of the way down into the article):
Quote:
After several days of attempts, though, the scientists made contact and persuaded Spirit to send data. What they got wasn't much -- and initially gave researchers an erroneous date of 2053.
Trosper said the problem appeared to be that the rover's flash memory couldn't handle the number of files it was storing. The jam-up, she said, apparently kept Spirit from shutting down properly and performing a number
of functions that normally originated in its flash memory.

Digital photographers, this is further proof that
you can never buy too much storage for your photos!
