NASA has extended the mission of the Mars Rovers to an additional 5 months. The press release, dated April 8, details the successes of the current program and offers the possibility that even though the mission is being extended to September (including $15 Mil in funding for the human staff on Earth), that the rovers may last longer than that, or may die out in a few weeks.
