Ingenuity retired on the 20th anniversary of Opportunity landing on Mars 🥲
two remarkable pieces of engineering that exceeded our expectations and yet still feel like they are gone too soon 🧡

Thinking about Opportunity... Did you know they named an astroid after her. She was the first rover to travel the distance of a marathon and her mission lasted 55 times longer than intended. She literally WAS a completely new opportunity for Mars exploration. The team operating her were the ones who gave her the "Oppy" nickname. They had a whole playlist called Opportunity, wake up! for when they lost contact with her and sent over 1000 recovery commands. The last song they played her was "I'll be seeing you" by Billie Holiday.
#My battery is low and it's getting dark is a poetic translation of opportunitys last message#ugh. mars rovers get me so emotional#space travel gets me emotional#I love people#:V#please leave your favorite opportunity facts in the comments Below#Also best astronaut and space pirate Mark Watney is canonically compared to Opportunity#he's like if Oppy got to go back home#if we ever successfully get to Mars and if we ever have the capability to#pls bring those babies home and put them in a museum#opportunity rover

Edit: if I may add something, I'm not referring to their ground control when I say Spirit and Oppy are controlled by Macbooks. I mean the actual computer brains inside the rovers - as well as those for most of the 1990s-2000s Mars missions - were the same computers that were used in Macbooks. Enjoy!

Don't mind me, I'm gonna go cry over a mars rover because I have no real human attachments and I got attached to a fucking robot instead

It’s so crazy to me that the opportunity rover was projected to only last 90 sols (92.5 earth days) but actually lasted 5,352 sols or 15 earth years.
#it lasted almost 60 times longer than expected and planned#I just think it’s amazing#nasa#opportunity rover#mars rover#the opportunity#oppie

If you haven't watched Good Night Oppy yet then I suggest you do if you enjoy robots, space, and getting emotional over robots in space.
#its beautiful how we give life to non living things#personalities and traits to non human entities#and by doing so they gain their own#opportunity rover#oppy#good night oppy

So I made kind of an impulse purchase this evening of a locket. The seller had a service where they would print the pictures out for you if you send them.
"Perfect," I thought, "I don't have access to a color printer right now, this will make things so much easier"
I wasn't thinking. Now I have to send pictures of the Mars rovers Opportunity and Perseverance to a complete stranger to print out. They're expecting like. Children or grandparents or something but no
It's space robots.
#what inreally wanted was one of those one that folds out to like 6 photos#and have the entire line of mars rovers#but this locket was... nit perfect but close#and it only has 2 holders#so oppy and percy it is

Further proof that humans will pact bond with anything is the fact that every time I see the words "my battery is low and it's getting dark," I sob my eyes out.
