Human Error May Have Doomed Mars Probe

http://www.physorg.com/news87716806.html

Here is an article from about a week ago that talks about some of the problems from the Mars Global Surveyor that broke last year, after being in orbit for 10 years. I dont usually think of the people that are controlling the satelites and the rovers, so its amazing to think that a little human error could permanently break a probe that had been in orbit for so long. The article doesnt say how long the surveyor was expected to work for, so i was wondering how many more years they expected it to work for.
