"Something Died On Mars"....reminds me of one of the wife's comments on Saturday morning after a Friday night of Vindaloo and beer.....

NASA does not wase money. In fact, their % of the federal budget is only .1%. When you think about how much they can do with that, and how much they could do with a little more, well, you know where I'm going with this.

Aye. With 1% they could lose 10 probes. :)

No robotics mission is meant to last forever. All things will eventually break down, since no one's there to fix them. Think about Hubble.
