A few days ago I was talking to my daughter about robots and our conversation turned to planetary probes. I told her about New Horizons (the pluto probe) and thought "I should look and find out all the active missions." I was surprised to find that MESSENGER was still going, but was going to end soon. I explained to her about how it found ice in the craters of Mercury and she was amazed. Anyway, just a small anecdote by which I'll remember MESSENGER. RIP my robot friend!
