Torn treads. Chunks of aluminium just gone, ripped away by rock after rock after rock. This isn&#8217;t neglect, by the way. There&#8217;s no garage on Mars. Whatever hardware you launch with is the hardware you die with.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the part that gets me: engineers knew the wheels were shredding as early as 2013, barely a year in. So they started driving the rover backwards over rough patches, mapping gentler routes, rationing every metre of terrain. A billion-dollar robot, babied across a planet like a car limping to the mechanic that doesn&#8217;t exist.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 14 years later, it&#8217;s still moving. Still drilling. Still sending photos home, including this one of its own battered wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Your car needs new tyres every few years on paved roads. This thing has been off-roading on another planet since before most phones had fingerprint sensors.<\/p>\n<p>The wheel in this photo is broken.
