Does anyone know where these little guys landed? I've got a surface map of Mars and am just a little curious about where they are.

It's in my backyard, but don't tell them.  I'm having too much fun with it.



Officially however:


Spirit, Gusev Crater

Opportunity, Meridiani Planum,

Darnit.... there went my idea of going and getting one- WHY DO YOU THINK I HAVE A MAP!!!
*scratches chin*
Wait a minute... where do you live? *gets  that 'Carney's gonna steal something' look that his platoon knew so well.

Actually I was wondering how close to the Viking probes they were and the hypothetical possibility of NASA parking one of the rovers next to one or the other. Unfortunately the closest (Opportunity to Viking 1 or Pathfinder, which is closer) is still a couple hundred clicks away. Too bad, would have been a cool pic- a look at history.
