re: If one of the rovers "died" right now...
In summation, the rovers did good for what they were capable of, but
it is time to move on and start getting really serious about exploring the
Sol system and establishing a real human presence. The ISS ain't it.
===================
GOOD POST......
AND SO FACTUAL.....
The ISS is the gateway to Sol sytem exploration though, it will be used as a stop off station for future flights. What we need to do and it's all being plannd now, it get humans back to the moon first to saty, build bases, and launch missions to Mars from the moon bases.
