not sure if the rovers might outlive expectations,, I hope so,, maybe they are still working on the software fix, some of that stuff has to be pretty fun to debug.
they have cut back on some energy usage to compensate for a heater problem on one rover ,, I have not seen recent status on power available ,,

My comment was pretty much a "lady-in-the-limousine" type of thing. With all the marvels we've seen from these rovers already, JPL can play Demolition Derby with them if they want to, as far as I'm concerned. They've done their jobs; above and beyond in some cases.
