KUDOS to the engineers who have made this rover last so long on a planet so far away!

Hard to beat this engineering! From what I understand they use RAD-hardened IBM RS/6000 32-bit cpus running at 25 MHz! My WATCH has 50x the CPU horsepower of these rovers so to be able to make these Mars rovers actually WORK, took some SERIOUS engineering prowess!

The sheer cheekiness of your headlines...how many late millennials and Gen Y/Z'es would even GET the Darude Sandstorm techno song reference? Watch the original Darude Sandstorm video! It is AWESOMELY WELL DONE!
