While a Tesla heads towards Mars, let's not forget the two vehicles already on Mars; Curiosity & Opportunity.

I thought one of the two went dark a while back. What’s the health status of the two rovers?

A Mars Rover's Lament


All day I faced the Martian waste without the taste of water;
cool water.

At JPL the jerks at work sip Evian: I die for water;
cool clear water.

The nights are cold and I've been told each star's
a pool of water; cool water.

But with the dawn I'll switch back on
and MastCamBate for water; cool water.

Load an infra-scan; exploration is the plan;
you're a robot not a man and the broken rocks can stand for water; cool clear water.


MRO, can't you see that big green tree
where water's runnin' free and it's waiting there for

Error. Stack overflow.

Nicely done! I wonder if the same scientists telling us that the earth would have no ice on the poles by now are the same ones that forecast that the Mars rovers would only last for 6 months?

Ping.

I hadn't checking in on these guys in a while. Amazing they're still chugging along.
