That engineering team needs special recognition. Seriously, that's a heroic level of skill. Build something for 90 days and get 5000? If you said that in any meeting anywhere you'd be laughed out...

The design was 90 days "must work" and 1 year "should work" (extended mission). Still even at that almost 15 times planned lifespan is an engineering miracle.

And a rover designed for only a 90 day mission to boot.

Is it silly to cry over a mars rover?
No. What do you think I've been doing all day?
