Do some research before passing judgement. Even a quick glance at Wikipedia would be okay.
The fact is that the twin rovers are currently operated on a shoestring budget. The loss of funding and its impact to science activity on the rovers is REAL. After years of budget cuts, the money-saving tricks are used up. The team operating the rovers is at the top of their game, doing world-class exploration for next to nothing. I mean, $4 million is comparatively very little compared to what the war currently costs taxpayers -- $341.4 million per *day*.
If anyone should be at fault for manipulation, it is NASA HQ and the current administration. Shame on them.
