Mars can wait. Those hard-working little Rovers are the enduring Legacy of mankind and a testament to our thirst for knowledge. It simply amazes me how they were designed for a lifespan of 90 days, and one of them is in service over 10 years later. Who would have thought that possible?

Someday men of earth will walk there and what they find will be Simply Amazing.

Let the rovers take a rest, and recharge, put them back to work when the appropriate time comes.
