Turns out that the amount of radiation reaching the surface is considerably less than they expected. One of the earliest findings from this rover was that the radiation at surface level was comparable to what our astronauts experience on the space station.

I’m assuming the damage was likely done in transit.

Interesting. I do know they have special shielded closet they get into when a bad solar flare(s) are detected.

Next time use FED-EX.
