Most of all, perhaps, Spirit and Opportunity will be celebrated for their dogged survival in harsh conditions. One day—not in the movies but in real life—humans hopefully will visit the sites of these two rovers to marvel at their crude technology, dusty graves, and historic accomplishments. This would be humanity's best tribute to these two early Martian pioneers—that they were not the end of human exploration of Mars, but the beginning.
