Originally designed for a three-month mission on the surface of Mars, the remarkable Opportunity rover is now moving into its tenth year of exploration.

That little rover has certainly earned it's place in a future Museum Of History on Mars. Just goes to show that if something is as well built as this was, it will run and run way beyond the mission objectives. A real credit to it's design team
