Thought it would make a good read, I was glad to see that these little guy's are still ticking with a full charge and still can send back some interesting new data,

These things are amazing. I still check the JPL website every few days to see new pictures.

I also like to check in on the rovers. Saw a special recently about the next generation rover, which will have much greater manuverability and range. Special was about getting them to navagate the terrain from A to B on their own. AI at work. Hope funding continues.
