Don't know about you all.. but I'm amazed that those rovers we sent to Mars.. just keep on Truckin' Originally designed to last a couple of months and travel a few hundred yards.. They've now lasted almost 3 years and have both traveled for miles, taking pictures of the Martian Landscape.

But more than 900 days later, they are still going strong.
