On Monday we’ve head that scientists plan to put one of the twin Mars rovers to sleep and limit the activities of the other robot to fulfill a NASA because their budget was being cut by $4 million.

But on the next day NASA says that it has absolutely no plan to turn off either of the Mars Rovers because of budget cuts. It has rescinded a letter that recommended budget cuts in the Mars Rover program to cover the cost of a next-generation rover on the Red Planet.

The agency’s administrator, Michael D. Griffin, says NASA needs the money to keep the space shuttle fleet aloft, complete the International Space Station and build a new crew exploration vehicle to replace the shuttle and but as was saying in a statement Tuesday neither of the rovers will be shut down.
