The Mars rovers are still operating, a whole Martian year after the first one landed, and, I think, far longer than even the most optimistic predictions at the beginning of the mission. But Opportunity's arm recently became stuck in something close to its stowed position. No telling whether they'll get it unstuck. Meanwhile, Spirit is climbing down from the hilltop where it took some nice panoramic shots a while ago.
