  1. Also remember it is not at 100% capacity today. A few of its wheels are not working so it has to drive backwards and drag wheels. The arm is stuck in a certain position. Its memory system is failing so it can't store as much data.

    But I agree, Opportunity is older than most people's cars and it has had 0% hardware maintenance.

  2. There's one thing I'm confused about. If the Shuttles can SSTO from any Earth-like planet, then... why did they need a massive rocket to launch them?​

    I can see this making sense if the Saturn V lifts the shuttles AND the "interstellar" tug. Hence, the command module / shuttle can SSTO but not the entire craft.
