To be fair; there may be COTS Mars rovers for sale (possibly even cheap), they're just not certified or engineered specifically for Mars. Even an RC car might last long enough for a mission if it was free to get there.

Amusingly, that specific short story (short may be misleading) is what stopped my completion of that book of short stories because I just couldn't get through it.

Ha, while I'd work for that salary, even half of it would almost double what I make as a sysadmin. I guess I work here for the mission. Plus I don't have to deal with cloud services except for when the external services go down. O

Yep, they're actually just tiny solar panels! I got several trying to figure out how to use the lighthouse system. Not enough hours in the day and at the time there wasn't enough compute in a small package cheap enough for me.
