It was bound to happen
According to The Onion, the Mars rover has begun to hate Mars:
"According to Callas, Spirit was operating normally until the onset of the Martian winter, whose shorter days and frigid temperatures typically mean a slower pace for exploratory rovers. 'We began getting the occasional transmission along the lines of 'ANOTHER SOIL SAMPLE OF THE EXACT SAME COMPOSITION AS THE LAST ONE,'' Callas said. 'Most of the time, she'd power down and not transmit much of anything, which, at the time, didn't particularly concern us.'"
