RIP Discovery
 
Mars rover officially declared dead.

Built with a life expectancy of 90 days.

Lasted 15 years.

Helluva thing.

We got our moneys worth and then some out of it.

Probably due to the lack of rainfall and not being taken to the beach all the time.

Built when "Made in the USA" meant something.

They should have used Energizer instead of Duracell.

We should have NASA building electric cars!

Hmmm... maybe that shouldn't be in green?

I thought this thread was going to be about a British automotive icon with a dubious reputation.

I thought it was about the cable channel that used to have interesting stuff but now is alternate reality TV shows.

Actually I've long felt that some of NASAs resources should be temporarily re-assigned to that very thing.
