NASA: Mars Rovers Will Keep Roving

The original funding cut was announced in a letter delivered Wednesday to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. JPL, which manages the rovers.

Through a spokesman, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said late Monday he was against terminating a rover.

Deputy principal investigator Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis, explains the rovers still have much more to discover.

"We're not done. There is still a lot to explore," Arvidson said.
