Until when the laser is going to keep shooting rocks?

What will be the main factor determining the "as long as we can": energy available for the rover? Money to pay you guys?

If the team had found life on Mars, would it have been revealed to the public?

not even put a back-up diode for the laser focus? ;)

Shooting lasers in space sounds a lot like something that could be interesting for military stuff - even though you mentioned a rather low energy, are you working (maybe against your will?) in collaboration with the US army?
