I think you forget about how awesome the mars rover is. It was only supposed to do a mission that 90 days and lasted more than 1800 [1] and that Martian environment is really tough. Though I still think it's amazing that the voyager is still kicking ass, I just wanted to point out that their is still some awesome work being done.
