Looks like the Mars Rover though may be in service longer than Airbus was making their big ol' a380.

PARIS (Reuters) - Airbus is nearing a decision to ax production of the world’s largest airliner amid a downward revision in demand from the Gulf and is likely to give an update with its full-year earnings on Feb. 14, industry sources and analysts said.
