NASA Extends Rover Occupation of Mars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wait-till-they-try-to-occupy-us dept.

iocat writes "Reuters reporting that NASA is extending the Rover missions on Mars by another five months. However, they point out that while the rovers look poised to greatly exceed their planned life cycle, they could basically die at any time. Still, it will be cool to see a little more exploration."
