Could have solved the dust on the solar panels problem with a set of windshield wipers and a motor from an old truck, and saved a hundred million dollar space craft from being lost because of lack of power.

What do you make the wipers out of? How do you wipe the solar panels without scratching them up? This isn't rain.

Make the blades out of Teflon. Or use compressed gas from a remote controlled nozzle. The point is they should have thought of a way to solve this very predictable issue, also a scratched panel is better than no panel.
