Remember how important it was that one of the two earlier rovers found surface water by getting a wheel stuck in the mud? Remember how big a story that was? That is not getting into the history books
That didn't get in to the history books because that didn't happen. Spirit got stuck in sand. Very dry sand. The Phoenix lander at the pole saw visible water ice after scraping the surface with a tool, only to see that ice sublimate. Some satellite evidence hints at possible subsurface flows of brine, but that has yet to be confirmed.
The goal is to always be able to push to production. Have a continuous integration and test system that allows you to have confidence that you can always push the latest build to production. Automate as much of your testing as possible so your build and test process can produce something that a human test team actually has to work hard to break.
Parent hit the nail on the head. The above comment is the key to a successful agile development environment. Investing in a robust, automated test suite that runs daily on any code that developers check in will allow you to release about as frequently as you want.
The point is that society can't work that way. Everyone pays in some money so that services can be available when people need them.
Yep, that. Taxes buy civilization.
