Excellent engineering. It was designed to do certain things for a certain amount of time as a minimum. It turned out to be an "Energizer Bunny", to NASA's delight. Also, the engineers have learned a great deal about the robot ships they launch in the last 30 years, making each successive one better than the last.

Mars is not livable. First of all, it is too cold.Second, there is little water, and to transport enough for it to be able to support maybe a hundred people would be unrealistic.The only life on Mars, as far as we as humans know anyway, is the Mars Rover, and its controllers are right here on Earth.
