Well they've come a long way from some of the earlier probes that just landed there and only lasted for a couple of hours at best.
Remember Mars is only a little rockier, dustier, and generally more harsh than your backyard. And it's only a couple thousand or so miles farther away.
Sure NASA Could use some restructuring, but I think the accomplishments of these 2 things have been pretty amazing. I say we mount a rescue mission. Leave no man, er...robot behind.
