The 2 Mars Rovers Spirit and Opportunity that NASA placed on Mars in 2004 are still going strong traipsing across the wastelands of Mars, I find it amazing that they have been roaming about all that time.
Their mission was only expected to last 3 months. Maybe they have been upgraded by the Borg
Spirit is exploring a 150km-wide bowl-shaped depression known as Gusev Crater. It has found an abundance of rocks and soils bearing evidence of extensive exposure to water.
Opportunity is on the other side of the planet, in a flat region known as Meridiani Planum.
Spirit has to drive backwards everywhere it goes because of a jammed wheel; and Opportunity's robotic arm has a glitch in a shoulder joint because of a broken electrical wire.
They remind me of Wall:E or Johnny 5 from Short Circuit
I have visons of them bumping into each other in the mars wilderness and one shouting to the other
"Your mother was a snow blower"
As you can probably tell my imagination runs riot when I read stories like this, comes from watching too much Science Fiction
