This thing was supposed to have an active on-planet lifespan of 90 days.

Today is day 5255.

Yeah, but how many miles it got on it?

When you are only building one or two examples, it’s too expensive to do the testing required to accurately develop a 91 day device.

It was built by the Old NASA. Today's version would last for three days then send a message announcing that it was committing suicide over Trump's refusal to address climate change :)

An engineering marvel and incredible achievement.

is this the first dust storm the rover has been through in 5255 days? What happened previously?
