We had 581k deaths so far, is that not close enough to 2.2 million unmitigated to be in the ballpark? It is for me.

This guy is like Nostradamus compared to the people at NASA doing project life estimates for the rovers.

This one is obviously caused by setting "bare minimum" to "actual expected average time".

Mission exceeding minimum plan is much better that very expensive hardware failing before supposed end of mission.
