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.

This thing was supposed to have an active on-planet lifespan of 90 days. Today is day 5255.
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 :)

They did power it down but have been keeping in periodic contact with it.

The storm has been growing since the end of May with unprecedented speed.I know of some people who will say that there is a "scientific consensus" that the dust storm was caused by dust kicked up by the rovers themselves. That's right, anthropogenic dust storms.
(Hey, if it works for global warming...)

Well, I’ve heard Mars is no place to raise your kids.
In fact, it’s cold as hell.

This thing was supposed to have an active on-planet lifespan of 90 days. Today is day 5255. An engineering marvel and incredible achievement.

I don’t see the problem. Can’t they just send someone up there with a whisk broom and a wet sponge to change the batteries?
