NASA's rover Spirit went offline likely because its solar panels were too thoroughly covered in Martian dust to provide it with power. Since the solar panels were its only source of power, it shut down and became unresponsive.
The rover that landed in September is called "Perseverance." It successfully touched down on Mars on February 18, 2021, as part of NASA's Mars 2020 mission. However, if you are referring to a different rover that landed in September, please provide more context or specify the mission.
the question doesn't make sense NEW 8/14/2012 (PurpleMouse): I think the ask-er is trying to say, "how long did it take the spaceship to land on mars?" It took a year for a rover to land, so maybe less for a spaceship.
Yes, white spirit can damage tarmac as it is a strong solvent that can dissolve and break down the surface of the tarmac. It is important to avoid spilling white spirit on tarmac and to clean it up immediately if any spills occur to prevent damage.
The three rovers Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosityremain in operation exploring the surface of Mars, managed and overseen by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.The first rover, Sojourner, was a part of the larger Pathfinder mission, which touched down on 4th July 1997 in an ancient flood plain in Mar's Northern hemisphere called 'Ares Vallis'. The rover was to work in conjunction with the static Pathfinder lander acting as it's mobile research and collecting vehicle. The mission was originally designed to last only a month, but in the event lasted for THREE months, with the rover taking detailed spectroscopic analysis of Martian rocks as well as other complex analyses of the Martian soil and atmosphere.Final contact with Pathfinder was on 27th September '97, after which her batteries failed due to repeated discharging and re-charging, which eventually caused vital on-board electronic hardware to break, leading to loss of communications. Following this, contact with Sojourner was lost too- she never ventured further than 36 feet away from the Pathfinderlander, and to this day remains parked next to a large rock nicknamed 'Yogi' whose structure she was analysing.The Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter spotted Pathfinder and her attendant rover on the Martian surface in January 2007- they will remain where they are indefinitely, although when eventually human beings do manage to land on Mars, they may visit the defunct probes and possibly even bring them back to be put on display in a museum. But that is many decades away. They have been named the Sagan Memorial Station in honour of the late astronomer and planetologist, Dr. Carl Sagan.The retro-rockets, parachute and backshell that were used in landing the two probes flew back up into space after delivering their cargo and are now in orbit around Mars, occasionally being visible now and again passing by the vision of the Reconnaisance Orbiter.

a Triangular balloon it bounced till gravity brought it down and deployed the rover
For a 2008 Range rover it costs about $82,000. For a 2008 Range Rover SPORT it costs about $52,000. I would not recommend getting one because they are not reliable and always break down.
They could not agree
Some kinda landin' gear comes out. Then it touches down on the red red rocky surface. The rover proceeds to then land and "roll it out" to a nice smooth place.It then explores.
Because a rover doesn't need to eat, breathe, perspire and doesn't have a psychological meltdown after 9 months away from Earth. People are not designed for space travel, currently the technology is too expensive for a manned mission to Mars, we were very lucky the lunar landings went as well as they did and now that the cold war is over the race to put men into space has slowed down somewhat. Robots do the job very well after all.

no they do not break down
