The remarkable robots, Spirit and Opportunity, have weathered three Martian winters and still retain almost all of their original capabilities. The JPL engineers that built these machines have done a fantastic job. Their success underlines the grandeur and determination of human exploration. Humans are many different things: we are a species that uses language; we are a species that makes tools; but perhaps most of all we are a species that explores.
