The craziest thing was none of the hardware for Integrity was rated for space, radiation, dust, or mars. The right hardware would have been too heavy. So it basically the guts out of a few year old cellphone strapped to a rotator. Which actually gave it more computing power then all other NASA unmanned missions combined. They genuinely didn't even know if it would survive the trip to Mars.
