The mission was meant to last 90 days. It lasted fifteen years.
A bargain at twice the price.

Let me know what drug you are using, so I can be sure to avoid it.

Quote:One of the great exploration stories of our time is officially over.
NASA declared its dead today (Feb. 13), more than eight months after the solar-powered robot went silent during a raging dust storm on the Red Planet — and a day after the final calls to wake Oppy up went unanswered.
"I declare the Opportunity mission as complete, and with it the Mars Exploration Rover mission complete," Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, said today during an event at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.
