Dear MW Forum,

I loved this brief and funny posting from Pavel Boytchev on the Logo
Forum. It's about the Sprit Rover -- and Turtles on Mars.

Hi everybody,

I was just reading the NASA update of Spirit and Opportunity 
activities, when I found this:

"...The rover was directed to: turn right, go forward, turn right,
take images of "Last Chance," turn right, go forward, turn left, go
forward, turn right, take images of "Big Bend," go straight, turn 
left and go straight! ..."

Does it look familiar to you? Here is the URL for the complete update:

To be honest I didn't mean this when at Eurologo 2003 I expressed hope
that Logo and turtles will 'spread' all over the Earth, and *beyond*...
