Well I think it's more so to the fact that NASA only planned on a 1-year mission for the curiosity rover. After 14 years it's far exceeded any plans that they had and as far exceeded the parts that were built for that specific mission. The fact that it's still can provide useful data is absolutely phenomenal.
