[last lines] Narrator:
[voiceover]
Spirit and Opportunity have shown us that once, three to four billion years ago, Mars had the essential ingredients for life. So the next step is to seek out evidence of life itself. Right now we have one example of life - us. We may be all there is - we simply don't know. But if you can show that life developed twice in one solar system, and then you consider the multitude of solar systems out there, it takes no great leap of imagination to believe that life might be a common phenomenon throughout the universe. [pause] Narrator:
Our rovers have gone farther, harder, and longer than even we, their creators, believed possible. They've done heroic work. But someday we won't need robots. Someday there'll be humans on the surface of Mars, and boot prints in our wheel tracks. This mission has put us on a great trajectory to learn more about Mars and about ourselves. But right now, Spirit and Opportunity are still roving Mars. It's not just that they've exceeded our wildest dreams. In many ways, they are our wildest dreams

We may be all there is We simply don't know

But if you can show that life developed twice in one solar system
00:00:24.815 --> 00:00:28.443
and then you consider the multitude of solar systems out there
00:00:28.486 --> 00:00:32.614
it takes no great leap of imagination to believe that life might be
00:00:32.657 --> 00:00:36.451
a common phenomenon throughout the universe
00:00:42.792 --> 00:00:45.071
Our rovers have gone farther harder and longer
00:00:45.795 --> 00:00:49.381
than even we their creators believed possible
