Mechanical life?

RobVG — 3/9/2004 5:08:51 PM (archived)

Just wondering- if they thought the rovers would run out of power in 90 days, will the mechancal integrity hold up to go almost three times longer than expected?

That's pretty rough terrain and the temperature changes don't help much either.

Bets?
