Spirit and Opportunity Rovers, Stardust???

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 1:17 am

When I was young I thought that the images and sounds from the TV was incoming from the fich cords before the cable was invented but still it can be from the air as for the radio.
My point is, I still don’t comprehend how the NASA can control Spirit and Opportunity Rovers from earth, receiving even colors images… And what about …. The Stardust mission capsule landed two minutes ahead of schedule at the Air Force's Utah Test and Training Range southwest of Salt Lake City.
"We traveled almost 3 billion miles in space," principal investigator Don Brownlee said from nearby Dugway Proving Grounds. "We visited a comet, grabbed a piece of it, and it landed here this morning. It's an incredible thrill." (NASA celebrates arrival of "cosmic booty" -- 1:37)

That's way over my comprehension, Any of you comprehend a bit of a glimpse of all of it?
May be I should ask YGP...
