Kinda sad. I mean it lasted 3 years when 5 flights was the goal which is fantastic. But people in general, and through permorifies these little bots and give them personalities, and are sad to see them go. Also, is it just me or does NASA have really low expectations of their equipment? Is it always seemed to last like hundreds of times longer than they expected?
