Hope we didn't buy the extended warranty

Remember Spirit? The Martian rover that was meant to last 3 months when it landed on the planet January 2004? Still ticking. Designed for 90 sols, made it through 1725 sols so far. That's 19 times longer than it was designed for.

Although now it encounters conditions that may put it to sleep..... for good.
