this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby
HEY @nasa WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! IM CRYING SHE WAS DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB???!?!?!?!?!!!!!! IM GOING TO MARS AND BRINGING HER A BUNCH OF BATTERIES AND BLANKETS I LOVE HER SO MUCH
She was actually covered in dust and they tried for over a year (she got hit with a dust storm last year) to get responses but she never responded. She was so strong! she and her sister Spirit were only supposed to last 90 days…she was launched in 2004! 15 years! Get rest Oppy; maybe one day we’ll be up there and fix you up.
