longer can this thing go? I mean, it was "designed" to only go a
few months, and we are years beyond that. Anyone have a pool on
when it will really stop working?    • Re:Amazing (Score:5,

2009 @03:40PM (#26906789) Homepage      Cruise is something of
an exaggeration... they've gone 13 miles in 5 years, put
together. The Lunar Rover missions each went longer than both
combined in 3-4 hours, at top speed they'd pass the rovers
within the first hour. Semi-stationary crawlers is a more
accurate description, but of course they've been loaded up with
scientific equipment rather than for showing off.    • Re:Next
