Maybe on the next rover NASA will install a Sunsetter Retractable Awning to help keep the dust off the solar panels. ;)

Went to a JPL panel at comicon a few years ago. One story was that NASA wouldn't let them put a JPL sticker on the probe, so instead they configured the treads to spell out "JPL" in morse code as they moved. NASA didn't find out until it started driving around. I got a chuckle from that.

RIP Opportunity.
