They rovers did much much MUCH more than expected. It's worth remembering that.

NASA has declared the end of the Opportunity Rover mission on Mars. This mission, which was supposed to last 90 days, in fact lasted 15 years and gave us a trove of information about Mars. The sister rover, Spirit, was closed down in 2010.

Let's here it for the Mars Rovers!

Life is over with that NASA Mars Rover, make way for SpaceX's Big Falcon Rocket.

"which was supposed to last 90 days, in fact lasted 15 years", quite the overachiever.

Yeah know, with all the brain power NASA has working for it you'd think they could get a little thing like a 90-day life span right. Sheesh!
