Nobody seriously planned for what actually happened. Spirit operated for six years. Opportunity kept driving for fifteen years and four months, covering a distance of 45.16 kilometres across the face of another world before a planet-wide dust storm finally silenced its transmitters in June 2018. Together, the twin rovers of the Mars Exploration Rover mission redefined what robotic exploration could achieve, and they became, in a way that few scientific instruments ever manage, genuinely beloved. The two rovers launched separately in the summer of 2003, following trajectories calculated to place them at opposite sides of Mars. Spirit landed on January 4th, 2004, bouncing inside its airbag cocoon across the floor of Gusev Crater - a basin the size of Connecticut that scientists believed might once have held an enormous water lake. three weeks later, on the other side of the planet, in the flat plain of Meridiani Planum.…
