Didn't they inadvertantely fry one of the two magnetometers a year or two back? Did they revive it? Never was clear on whether a recovery was made.

Still crazy amazing that we have working magnetometers that far out.

I'm one of the most durable and fervent advocates of space exploration, but my take is that we could do it robotically at far less cost and far greater quantity and quality of results.
