I can't remember if they have another one or not though- I don't think so. As for the rover, I'm sure it is; but they probably can't repair it themselves anymore.

They retired the space shuttles. They are working on other projects now. IMO NASA is seriously underfunded, but they utilize their budget really efficiently, it's actually very impressive how much they are able to pull off while their budget constantly gets butchered by politicians which then put the money to other stupid things like Obamaphones...
