If a manned mission to Mars ever takes place I'd like recovering these Rovers a top priority. After all, they did a good job and we should bring them home :saddowns:.

Maybe when we get manned spacecraft to mars, we can recover the little guy, fix it up a bit, and give it an exhibition in some sort of space museum. :unsmith: ... :smith:
