Poor thing. I wonder what will be the fate of it, is it going to disintegrate quickly or will it be relatively preserved over the next few decades?
In summary, the conversation discusses the fate of a rover on Mars, with one person expressing sadness and concern about its preservation over time. Another person suggests that it will eventually be encased in sand and potentially displayed in a museum. There is also mention of the difficulty in retrieving the rover if it gets stuck and the fact that it will remain on Mars permanently now that future missions to the planet have been canceled.

It will be preserved. There's so little atmo, it's almost in vacuum. Eventually it will be encased in its own sand dune.

This is so sad. I don't think Spirit should worry. It won't be way too long before we get to visit Spirit in the Air and Space museum. Good job robot.
