NASA says goodbye to Mars rover Opportunity after 15 years

NASA lost contact with the robot in a massive dust storm last June and finally declared an end to its operational lifetime.

The first city to be build on mars should be named oppurtunity

[tfairfield]

"My battery is low and it's getting dark" Rest in peace oppy

Spez: That is what the last message received 'translated' to

[afellowhuman]

It may be a robot, but it's a hero
Rip Oppy, thank you

You paved the way, little pathfinder.
You explored, you discovered, you taught us.
You survived perils, loneliness, and challenges.
You will be missed and remembered throughout history. Thank you for your service, little adventurer.

If you think about it, it's not dead forever: it's just waiting for the moment when human will arrive on mars and change its batteries

[sayd]

They need to get rover back, like they did with matt damon

*I know it’s just a robot but what oppy has said has broken my achey brakey heart*

[DieterRust]

NASA didn't lose Opportunity in a storm, they had an argument before Valentines Day and Opportunity is letting the call go to voicemail

[tomgerrard]

Someone needs to start a petition to get Elon Musk to save Opportunity

[tadhgmc]

There's something in my eye, I'm not crying

[AleksOniszczak]

"Spirit and Opportunity may be gone..." Maybe he could have rephrased that lol.

“My battery is low and it’s getting dark.”

Imagine being a lonely little robot on mars and suddenly you’re battery just.. goes low. That shit hit me HARD

[chaosthemaxbackup]

looking back at this two years later, it still hits hard :(

[gyrospace]

Now if only we could get an automobile to last 15 yr. on earth

[Przemo-cjhi]

"this was only a robot, just a thing. You are really going to cry?"








Yes.

[pppuuu]

Maybe he died on the 13th of Feb because he couldn't bear another lonely Valentine's day

[edwardstuart]

He’s still out there. And when we get there, we’ll bring him home

[ththhv]

Humans land on mars

Some guy: we should start building shelter

Me: where is the opportunity rover!

[RealRiasYT]

For an odd reason, just hearing opportunity's last message kinda made me cry, its journey was to only last 90 days, but it lasted for 15 years, and that has helped us figure more about Mars, when we send people to Mars, the first thing they should do, is recover recovery opportunity, and see if he can be turned on again
