Quote:
Nasa's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has been out of contact with Earth for more than a week.

Engineers have been trying to re-establish communication with the probe, which could be showing its age after 10 years in space.

Hope they re-establish contact, would be a great shame to lose it.

Well, this certainly sucks. I hope so too.

Yeah, after ten years it is due for a refit though, I hope it's not a sign of the upcoming alien invasion.

You can't refit a spacecraft thats orbiting mars. It either works, or it doesn't.
