No, I didn't. Maybe Cardman did. Watch your quoting, please.

Someone please ask the "reset" question, when if it
can be made to
restart, then this may solve their problem.


I heard on the news this afternoon that they were going to attempt at
sending some type of RESET signal to the rover. I don't remember if
they said exactly when they plan to do it though. I believe it was
ABCnews that reported this.

I heard a guy on "The Newshour" say that RESET was an option that they
have no plans to use any time soon. They'll work with what they got
until they determine that won't be good enough. The next step is to
ask the rover to send back some diagnostic info over the low gain
antenna at the "safe mode" bit rate of about 8 bits per second. About
3 AM PST, IIRC.
