B-2 Spirit
The claims the writer was given for B-2 Spirit, in the order they were given.
1
Both the Spirit and Opportunity Mars Exploration Rovers were scheduled to land in equatorial regions of Mars, in Gusev Crater and Meridiani Planum respectively, officially to search for water or areas where water had once flowed.
“The two rovers, named Spirit and Opportunity, were scheduled to land in Gusev Crater and Meridiani Planum, respectively, both in the equatorial regions of Mars. The ostensible reason for the landing site selections was officially the search for water, or at least areas where water had once flowed.”

Richard C. Hoagland considers that the Spirit and Opportunity Mars Exploration Rover landing sites, Gusev Crater and Meridiani Planum, were squarely in the path of outflow channels predicted by the Mars Tidal Model's tidal oceans.
“It did not escape our notice that both of these sites were squarely in the path of outflow channels from our predicted Mars tidal oceans.”

The Spirit rover landed successfully in Gusev Crater on Mars on 2004-01-04.
“Spirit was the first of the two rovers to land (in Gusev Crater), which it did successfully on January 4, 2004.”

Within a day of the Spirit rover's landing, NASA/JPL released the first official full-colour image of the landing site, which had Technicolor-red skies and distorted, red-shifted colour calibration.
“Within a day of the landing, NASA/JPL released the first official full-color image of the landing site, and it once again had the Technicolor red skies and distorted, “red-shifted” color calibration.”

No colour Pancam image from either the Spirit or Opportunity landing sites on NASA's official website looks like anything other than a Technicolor-red sky.
“as you go to the official website, there isn’t one color Pancam image from either landing site that looks like anything other than the silly “Technicolor red” skies Plait so readily defends”

The Spirit and Opportunity rover airbags, shown as orange-red in Mars landing site images, are actually a fairly bright off-white colour.
“we found that the Spirit and Opportunity airbags, far from being the orange-red color in the landing site images, are actually a fairly bright off-white.”

Approximately two weeks after Spirit arrived at Gusev Crater on Mars, the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft took its first opportunity to image the crater in high-resolution colour.
“Just about two weeks after Spirit arrived on Mars in Gusev Crater, ESA’s Mars Express took advantage of their first opportunity to image the crater in high-res color.”

One of Spirit's first high-resolution surface colour images at Gusev Crater showed a mysterious patch of "something" lying a few metres from the lander.

The rover science team gave the mysterious surface feature near the Spirit lander the nickname "the magic carpet."
“The nickname the rover science team eventually gave this curious surface feature was the “magic carpet.””

11
When Spirit descended from its lander, it was commanded to drive several hundred metres away to Bonneville Crater instead of investigating the "magic carpet" feature close-up with its instruments.
“When Spirit descended from its Lander a few days later, instead of investigating the “magic carpet” close-up with its unique array of instruments, the rover was commanded to drive as fast as possible several hundred feet away to Bonneville Crater.”

12
Richard C. Hoagland speculates that the "magic carpet" feature at the Spirit landing site is the first image of a genuine mud puddle on the planet Mars, caused by Spirit's airbags dragging across a wet, sticky surface created by seasonally melted subsurface brine.
“Spirit lands… the airbags drag across this partially wet, very sticky surface, and—viola!—Spirit captures the first image of a genuine “mud puddle” on the planet Mars.”

Richard C. Hoagland believes the Mars Express team, after publishing the bright green image of Gusev Crater, received criticism from the Rover team through back channels and issued a corrected version of the data without withdrawing the original bright green version.
“They probably got a lot of static from the Rover team through the back channels (remember, NASA was already embroiled in a bit of a color controversy over the Spirit surface images), so they issued a “corrected” version of the data, but *never withdrew their initial bright green version.*”

Spirit detected evidence of a muddy-briny surface in the bottom of a shallow crater at Gusev Crater, according to Richard C. Hoagland.

In 2008, Phil Plait made a public statement about a tiny object in a Mars rover image that resembled a small statue or figurine.
“Something of a mini-media sensation was caused in 2008 when self-anointed “Bad Astronomer” Dr. Phil Plait made a very public stink about a tiny object that appeared in a Mars rover image and looked for all the world like a small statue or figurine.”

In Mike Bara's view, the figurine spotted in the Spirit rover image got more intriguing over time despite Phil Plait's objections.
“Despite Dr. Phil protesting a bit too much, the figurine and the Spirit rover image it was spotted on got more and more intriguing by the day.”
