Spirit & Opportunity

Two robots. One planet. A 90-day mission nobody expected them to outlive.

In January 2004, twin rovers named Spirit and Opportunity landed on opposite sides of Mars with one job: find out if the Red Planet was ever wet. They were built to last three months. Opportunity kept rolling for almost fifteen years.

Along the way came dust storms, wheels stuck in sand, and very long, very cold nights. Think you can keep two tin cans alive on a planet that really doesn't want them there?

Apollo

One folding car. One very dusty Moon.

It rode to the Moon folded up like a beach chair, strapped to the side of a lander. Once unfolded, it let astronauts drive far beyond where their legs could ever take them.

No roads, no gas stations, no mechanic on call, and one rock in the wrong place can ruin your day. Think you can drive on a world where nobody has ever parked before?
