Does NASA have any more MERs built?

I saw a pic of them practicing the egress in a Mars mock-up room with what looked like a full scale MER rover. If we have another one of these sitting around we should make plans now to launch this puppy in '05. This time drop it on the South Pole of Mars (we're sending a lander to the North Pole in '07 I believe). If we have another MER it would be a shame not to use it.

    - Probably more return than one safe-landed MSL, IMHO (n/t) - Nick Hoffman - 2/26/2004 2:37:13 PM
