Martin, far be it from me to plagiarise the work of my co-winner in the 2010 bouts-rimes. I think I'd only had time to skim the board some time ago and had no conscious recollection of your Mars Rover, but possibly an unconscious one.
Fortunately, I haven't submitted this attempt yet and will not now do so as your vehicle obviously reached Mars first.
Yes, not too clear about the mechanics of planet death but I thought desertification was increasing here.
Good luck!
