      It’s sad, but it’s important to remember that Spirit and Opportunity had defined mission lives of 90 days. For them to last as long as they did and provide these scientific insights on Mars is something to celebrate.

      Curiosity and InSight are still going strong on the surface of Mars, and we have the European Rosalind Franklin mission launching soon!
