Or it could be FUBAR'd beyond repair. If it is, tough, just means the second rover due for landfall soon will have to takeover.
If it is dead then chalk off another to the God of War.

I'm betting it's the giant sandworms, 4 kms long, that have been eating our rovers. We must send people to mine their shit to make drugs.
THE SPICE MUST FLOW.
That or graboids, in which case we must send Burt Gummer in the next rover.

Bless the Maker and his water. Bless the coming and going of him. May his passing cleanse the world.

I was talking to my ES lecturer, something of a mars buff, and the chances of anything working on Mars are a million to one, he said. Yep, you heard me, the chances of anything working on mars, are a million to one, but still...

No, I was lying, it was a reference to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds rock/musical thing. Although he was a Mars Buff.

Great, now Mars will be a target in the War on Terror. On the plus side, they are guaranteed to lose, since expensive forces we will be sending to Mars will undoubtable destroy or capture every Martian base they find.

Okay, assuming that Martians really do exist and are swatting down the probes they can afford to swat down without revealing themselves, what does Earth do when they find out Martians really do exist?

Nuke Mars? Why not just be really cruel about it and send a vial of chicken pox? A whole lot cheaper and just as effective.

And then suddenly these giant walkers and flying saucers appear on Earth's major cities a la War of the Worlds style.
Fun fun fun!
