eldavojohn writes "Space.com brings us the top ten discoveries of the Martian rovers that landed there in 2004. They were expected to last three months but, as Slashdot has covered time and time again, they have lasted over three years. From minor discoveries about the formation of Mars to images of atmospheric phenomena, to final and definitive proof of a Mars with water, these two robots have definitely reserved themselves a place in the history books. Pending a dust storm, they may not even be done with their mission yet."

So, Slashdot discovered this. Remarkable! Congratulations to Slashdot for discovering it, not once, but time and time again. So next year, if the probes are still working, will someone else discover that Slashdot was wrong again and again? That wouldn't be too much of a surprise, I suppose. :) I kid, I kid.
