Something I've really been enjoying floating on my desk: A Moon Lamp! www.encalife.com/pages/_go_/floating-moon-lamp?ref…
-
I really hope that when we do eventually go to Mars, we'll take the time to find this thing and put it up in a museum. That little robot and its controllers deserves some mad respect.
-
“My battery is low and it’s getting dark…”. About as beautiful a spontaneous statement from a robot as you could expect.
-
Crazy how I’ve always known about the “mars rover” as a kid. I never realized it was the same one all these years whenever hearing news about it or something it might’ve found. I always thought that rover technology was regularly used after the first.
-
The Spirit and Opportunity missions always hold a special place in my heart. I remember them arriving on mars when i was a toddler. My parents took me to NASA events to learn about them and mars. It wasnt until i almost had my mechanical engineering degree that it was announced lost. I hope everything i help build exceeds its design like opportunity did.
-
A 90 day project that lasted 12 years. I think that's a success. Great job, Opportunity team.
-
It’s so easy to humanise a machine when it communicates to us like it’s human, as well as bravely soldiering on, performing its duties even though it can’t do them as well as it could when it was young, or as fast. RIP, brave little Rover.

It's kind of silly getting emotional over a machine, but I feel much the same way about my 20 year old Camaro that I have owned since new. It's done a brilliant job, much more than I expected when I bought it. Not only 293,000 miles on it, 293000 Andy Miles. Still the original engine, and no rust holes in the body. 20 Michigan winters. 'nuff said. Bravo to the engineers and technicians that create our wonderful machines.
-
My hat's off to all the brilliant, dedicated people that were involved in this mission, farewell Opportunity, you'll be missed.
-
Sorry the conclusion to this series took so long! Unfortunately my harddrive died a few months ago so I had to re-find all my footage for this episode, which was quite time consuming. Also, a big thanks to my sister for making the main theme for this episode. Check out her soundcloud here if you want to hear it without me talking over the top: soundcloud.com/annon-sound

"My battery is low and its getting dark" will never not make me emotional
-
Oppourtunity is one craft which MUST be one day recovered or made into a surface museum, the monolithic contribution it made to our mars exploration efforts are truly astounding. Sleep well oppy, you earned it dozens of times over.
-
I was in high school when Opportunity landed. We wondered what it would find. Little did we know how much we'd get out of it. It's amazing to see a part of my childhood coming to a close. What a time it was to be alive.
-
I hope it ends up in a museum one day.
-
Finally, the last episode! What a tenacious rover Opportunity was, he paved the way for all the following rovers. Can't wait for Perseverance to reach Mars!
-
Opportunity : Was I a good rover? Death : No! Death : I was told you were the best.
-
The fact humans can even make a machine that functions on a different planet for over a decade is incredible.
-
u son of a gun, u made me cry over a freaking rover... been here since 30k subs, and your development is impressive, thanks for all your hard work
-
Great stuff, amazing how like Voyager they have managed to far outlive their initial expected life cycle
-
VERY good documentary. One of the very few I've watched completely.
