Has the money actually already been allocated though? Because nothing's final until it's launched.
Nasa had a perfectly good moon buggy that they've had to scrap for no good reason, so just because it's on the cards doesn't mean it'll definitely happen.
Well, that's unfortunately true... The good news is that there's no time limit. The samples can wait as long as they have to. I doubt we'll just forget about them.
Also good, the rover is sitting on Mars, the bean counters can't disassemble it there.
