Did you know that Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity are still kicking? These rovers were only expected to last 90 sols, but have surpassed 786 sols. Right now, Spirit is nursing a non-functioning front right wheel. So it has to drive in reverse, dragging the broken wheel behind it.
This is an exhibition - not a competition. Please...no wagering.
