Well, the MERs lasted quite a bit longer & were moving systems. A bit of a shame a static lander can't beat them. :P

- Retric 4y agoInsight isn’t dead just hibernating which both MERs did several times. If Insight dies then Spirit will have lasted 50% longer and opportunity significantly longer, but both rovers lost quite a bit of functionality over time. So, the difference isn’t as stark as you might assume when you consider how much time rovers spent with reduced power or hibernating, stuck, etc.
