Page "Car Talk" Paragraph 14

In addition to at least one on-orbit call, the Brothers once received a call asking advice on winterizing a couple of " kit cars ".

After much beating around the bush and increasing evasiveness by the caller, they asked him just how much these kit cars were worth.

The answer: about $ 800 million.

It was a joke call from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory concerning the preparation of the Mars Rovers ( Spirit and Opportunity ) for the oncoming Martian winter.

Click and Clack have also been featured in editorial cartoons, including one where a befuddled NASA engineer calls them to ask how to fix the Space Shuttle.
