Something I've really been enjoying floating on my desk: A Moon Lamp! www.encalife.com/pages/_go_/floating-moon-lamp?ref=5403:574869
Running a marathon to celebrate reaching Marathon Valley. Hilarious.
I wouldn't kick it off my desk for, um, being made of cheese, say.
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.
Star Trek is a fantasy. Get over it.
Hopefully we find them all one
Yea I hope we find the little guy
It is in a museum already.
The biggest museum in the milky way galaxy.
The museum "MARS".
hopefully cause it’ll probably get buried under all the dust in mars:(
“My battery is low and it’s getting dark…”. About as beautiful a spontaneous statement from a robot as you could expect.
My wife said the same thing about her vibrator.
@@fantasysportsanalysistfsa8938 ah go away man
Now, was it the same A-hole who pretended to be "Dr. Stephen Hawking" with that lame 1980s cpu voice? I've heard their downsizing in the CIA, so Holmes may have been called on for both jobs.

@@chuckeecheeze4649 Dark as in nighttime, nearing bedtime.
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.
Yeah rip opportunity
I cried
its not always the same one
could be opportunity, curiosity, perseverance
Yea same
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.
How the hell are your body panels not rusted in Michigan? Must only be driving in the summer when's there's no salt on the road. 293k for a camaro is pretty dope though
@@matthewlaplante9293 I obsessively wash it after driving on salted roads. I don't let it have salt on it for more than two days. The Camaro IS my winter car. It goes through snow just fine with Blizzak winter tires.
@@andyharman3022 I live on the coast were salt naturally rusts your stuff. I never thought about yall having to salt the freaking roads. Thats wild.
I do this with a G8 GT my man. All year round in MI no rust on her!
@@inquisitorfederov5470 Yeah, G8's are pretty great. Do you get her oil-sprayed every year?
A 90 day project that lasted 12 years. I think that's a success. Great job, Opportunity team.
Good job it wasn’t built by apple.....
One day I hope we find our old friends on Mars and bring them back to life. Until then, may they rest well .
Bravo/a!!!
Shows what happens when you build stuff ti be robust and endure - entropy doesn't need collaborators!
As if it is not really intended to last longer.
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.
Persumably, it could be repaired at some point in the future, when people actually make it to Mars.
Probably sometime in the 2050s.
it kinda looks like Wall-E
We anthropomorphize everything, we behave like computers have feelings, we think animals think like humans, we even have a history of applying humanity with nature and that's where we get gods. No, that's not Zeus casting bolts in anger, that's a electrostatic discharge in the clouds.

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.
Good u r a Mechanical Engineer like me dear
My hat's off to all the brilliant, dedicated people that were involved in this mission, farewell Opportunity, you'll be missed.
We will see it again. Might not be in your life time or mine but humans will find opportunity in the future.

I hope it ends up in a museum one day.
@vid graphia Agree
@vid graphia Sure, why not. Although i don't think Mars is going to need a museum for the first hundred years.

Very unlikely unfortunately😔
@@joshmud8634
Well if we develop a new economical system where profits are not a main drive of force, we could easily start to colonise Mars.
"My battery is low and its getting dark" will never not make me emotional
FlamingAtheist Console yourself. The rover really transmitted IOIOIOIOIO, Oh Oh.
@@doreybain NOT THE ZEROS AND ONES!!
That just makes me cry more!
I was going to put that on a shirt and see if anyone recognized it lol
FlamingAtheist Ditto, it feels silly but I had to take my glasses off and wipe my eyes ☹️
More than being the robot causing the feels itself.
It's the human time and Passion poured into a machine, in a full-time attempt to give our lives meaning, and like that life, dying in the dark, alone and cold because humanity batteries are definitely low and indeed it's getting dark.
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.
Great stuff, amazing how like Voyager they have managed to far outlive their initial expected life cycle
The fact humans can even make a machine that functions on a different planet for over a decade is incredible.
You’re so right if it were true hahahahaha you people amaze me you’ll believe anything hahahahahahaha
@@mynameisnobody5838 says the one believing some magical sky daddy
Can barely make machines that last a year on earth
@@CreepyMemes ignore the troll
@@mynameisnobody5838 Translation: I am not interested in anything 'astro', I do not understand technology, I did not watch the video, I just came here to demonstrate my ignorance and stupidity.
When Opportunity landed on Mars, I was in the Navy, deployed overseas. I was able to watch the landing and initial imagery being sent back live. When the team realized that Opportunity had landed in a shallow crater and was able to see Martian bedrock for the first time ever, it was an amazing moment to watch.
I’ve always felt a small kinship to Opportunity over the years and have followed its progress across Mars. Now that we’re both “retired” with dust in our joints, I feel a bit sad that Opportunity no longer transmits. But one day, someone will find it in Marathon Valley and perhaps find one more secret to share with humanity. I hope I’m still alive to hear from Opportunity one more time.
Soon
This is a great comment. The first paragraph made me feel like I was watching the footage for the first time, too.
Wally you watched TV
@@muaythai.8474 yeah he seen it from a tv screen, did you expect him to have followed opportunity to mars to witness it firsthand?
… oh how sweet
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.
Hooah! Team Opportunity. Great job! This is incredible. Thank you for this little miracle. I hope to be able to read about all the knowledge it has collected about Mars.
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!
9 days to go 😁
It has reached

I get really pissed off when people attach a gender to an inanimate object.....it's metal and plastic not living flesh you dummy.
@@gangleweed who?
Get's me in the feels every time that last transmission. RIP Opportunity, you really went above and beyond the call of duty.
For real. I really felt sad.
Tears welled.
And it never knew its mommy or daddy. Saddest part.
Maybe one day humans will find it and rejuvenate it. But by then it’s technology may be obsolete.
Get is me as well.
Probably my favorite channel at the moment. Good work my friend!
Great job! What an amazing recap. Thanks, man. I really enjoy your videos
I know we are talking about a robot here, but I feel strangely sad for it on it’s lonely mission, isolated from its creators but dutifully carrying out its tasks. No technicians around to make it feel better, no ticket back home 😢
Well if you put it that way.........
In the fture, when men finally go to Mars, it will finally have contact.
You remind me of a TV show we used to like called, Lost in Space. "Warning Will Robertson, Warning!"
U and I would be great friends ❤️ 😍 🥰
I had exact feeling/thought 😔
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
Beautiful work
Well done! Keep up the great work!!!!
Why do you use a stupid click bait thumb? It devalues your product.
Thanks a million!
"My unused sector count is low, and it's getting full.". -- last error log entry from your hard drive.
Opportunity : Was I a good rover?
Death : No!
Death : I was told you were the best.
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
I came here for the science, instead i got the feels.
@Random Number Almost all new space videos do that to me, except for the Apollo 11 documentary released last year, that does it every time.
ur gay
@@babypluto1942 ur on piste
4:37 in middle there's a pole looking thingy in distance
@Random Number I've seen it at a festival few years ago, twice. Was crying like a bitch, both of the times. Director who was visiting and witnessing the screening said he still cries every time he plays it - and indeed he did.
Thank you Opportunity for your service. You will never be forgotten. ❤
VERY good documentary. One of the very few I've watched completely.
I didn't want to cry on my Friday evening, but here we are.
You chose a good reason. I used mine on rewatching 9/11/01 for the first time since I watched it live
There’s a lot of soy drinking going on here 😂
its fiday now
Why?
Why are you crying over a robot its just a hunk of expensive robot
10:36 not gonna lie, it was starting at this moment that I felt like I had been holding back a tear or two for a few minutes already and prepared to actually cry for a rover, a mission, a massive achievement that we never expected would go so far.
Well done humanity, you did good this time.
That last message always puts a knot in my throat. Same with that meme that goes:
Death: It's time to go.
Oppy: Was I a good rover?
Death: No.
Death: I'm told you were the best.
My rational, high mind knows we were just anthropomorphizing a machine, but my mammalian brain really did love that rover.
Yes emotional it is, as I've been waiting for this since I was about 5 tears old, and now I need to hang in to life, just a bit longer until they put a man or men, on the surface of mars. Then I can go, and leave this world.
That's because it personifies the rover, triggering our empathy.
Stick to watching Star Trek. "Science and Science Fiction are one and the same." William Shatner.
oh gosh, "my battery is low, and it's getting dark", you couldn't write a better line if you tried. god speed little robot.
Cool video of the Nevada Desert!
What an amazing machine and technical crew. Thank you all.
Hats off to everyone involved in every aspect of the project.
Photoshop are the best I've seen
I think the Mars rovers are collectively my favorite NASA missions. Even though they aren't manned, they have sent back some astounding pictures and data.
Suggests that though we might want to send humans to Mars, Real erra-forming can be started by machines.
We know Musk and Bezos want to get to Mars as soon as possible.
@@JRobbySh You have been fooled hook, line and sinker. Are you really that gullible? Please tell me you don't live in the USA. Please be from Canada or something.

@@Yonder27 Well thanks, I could go for a picture of myself being the future. Thanks for the boost Ron K, Boo yeah!
Dope AF doc, dropping mad science re: Opportunity's epic yields of feat in the exploration of Mars. Props to the myriad people at NASA etc involved in this stoic rover's development and edifying journey of discovery helping keep Opp's "cameras on Mars on space patrol controlled from Earth by remote control" functional despite intense challenges.
Awesome video Astrum! Also, thank you for choosing to use my song for it!
My favorite story about the rovers is JPL asking to have the letters JPL in the tire tread. When told no, the decided the wheels needed a way for the sand, etc. to be cleared out ot the wheels, so put a series of square holes in them. The holes were the Morse Code for the letters J, P, and L.
Don't mess with engineers. They'll find a way.

" I'm cold, and it's getting dark." The most heartbreaking words ever spoken by a little robot 🥺
Excellent presentation! Thank you.
Not a sad ending, but a heroic one. That machine survived much longer than it was designed to do.
I'll never forget when they sent them into space, I don't think anyone thought they'd make it this far, truly incredible.
Yes. Faking images has come a long way
@@bz3086 Yeah, I still can't believe that people think these are real and the Earth is round. Keep your tinfoil hat on tight bud. Don't want the government reading your mind.

It's not real bro. It's a farse to rob you of your tax money. The trash in space, alone, makes it nearly impossible to go up there and not get killed by the tiniest object. You really think they're going to be able to pull all this off? Come on man!
Remember the first man, to set foot on the moon"! What a time to be alive.
It just blows my mind, words that I can’t explain...how are people smart enough to build these things, send them millions of miles away into space, have them land on mars successfully, then operate for over a decade, controlling them from earth...I just can’t even grasp how they do it...hats off to the teams at nasa. Full blown GENIUSES.

I would love to see a series like this for Curiosity
It's astonishing to think Opportunity was designed to only last 90 sols and it lasted over 50 times longer and captured such amazing footage over that lengthy period. An amazing feat of engineering. It's times like these one is proud of our true human capabilities.

I like these kind of videos. Exploration in outer space and other planets.
IN MY VIEW
Thank you for this informative video about Opportunities lifespan on Mars. I enjoyed this wonderful Success Story.
This is such a great job of telling the Opportunity story. Gripping and poignant. Thanks so much for this.
Love these videos, love this channel, love this man’s voice, and I love space! Thanks for everything you do Astrum! You’re amazing!
It's incredible how long this rover lasted. I really hope those who engineered and ran this mission got big promotions and have since worked on curiosity and Perserverance.
Thank you sir/please come back soon we are eagerly waiting for new Mars videos
We got our money's worth on this little rover. Rest in peace Opportunity.
Hardly. Waste of money. Who cares about Mars. Our fucking planet will be inhabitable soon. Should be spending money on parties.
Anthony M since earth is slowly being uninhabitable thats the damn point of researching Mars,.
@@airbornewarningandcontrols396 Sure, the super rich can attempt to create the technology for them to move there, but the rest of us will just die. I'd rather we invest this money in reducing carbon emissions to zero instead of the fantasy of moving to another planet.
@@growingmelancholy8374 Who cares about Mars? A lot of people, it's called expanding the mind and the scientific boundaries. Parties can be had any time.
Anthony M and thats why were sending spacecrafts to mars dumbass and parties are a waste of money imo
Fitting last words. That last communication made me cry! Poor little guy! I know Opportunity was a robot rover but none-the-less I felt very sad for it’s demise.
The color enhanced photos are spectacular!
I think the last words, are something no science fiction writer could ever capture. Simple, beautiful, romantic. -- How "Human" of a robot. I wonder if I will live long enough to see a human footprint on Mars?
Great video keep them coming 👍
WOW! Thank you for posting and making it so interesting. My battery is getting low as well.
The only thing more fascinating to me than seeing an alien planet with my own eyes is the lack of enthusiasm of other people seeing an alien planet with their own eyes. Thank you NASA, JPL and all the other many people that made this possible ❤
In 1969, all of my family and friends were in front of the TV whenever the Apollo Mission was being televised, or when programmes dedicated to the Mission were shown. This was England, UK, so I can only imagine how excited the US public were at the time. Now we have stunning images of Mars, but the lack of TV interest mirrors the lack of public interest, when it comes to Mars Rovers. Thank God for the Internet, as we now have regular updates available. Were it for the regular media, we have learnt nothing about these incredible missions.
Perhaps they should be cancelled due to low ratings like the Apollo program?
@@duderama6750 they taped over the footage. Sure
@@alpha.7637
I taped over some of my home movies too.
The Martian was a cool comedy. Whole lotta laughs.
@@duderama6750 ohh snap.!!
Been waiting for this. Great series thank you Alex.
Thanks for nice and important video NASA's Opportunity rover.
Once a colony is established, and all of the robots are done with missions, maybe Percy (Perseverance) will still be roaming. It would be impressive to see them on display too.
I don't think anyone will go there. If they do, they won't come back and we will have polluted the pristine planet with billions of earth bacteria and viruses. Your gut and mine contain more bacterial cells than our entire body has human ones. The corpses of dead Mars explorers will change Mars for ever and will confound any effort to find original Mars life form remnants. I don't think we should do such a thing. Musk wouldn't care, but that's only because he is a rich, spiled c unt.
RIP Lil guy, you done good. This is why I love science, cause there's always new stuff to learn and getting to view information and stuff like this about an alien world is awesome beyond words. Thanks fore this upload!

This was a fantastic experience. I have been following your channel for years now and you are easily one of my favorites. I love this whole series and have been able to keep up due in part to your dedication and hard work. Thank you so much and God bless you.
I still get chills when looking at these panoramic pictures. We are literally looking at up close pictures of Mars!!!! Fucking mind blowing.
Soo same! Doesn't matter how many times I see it, it gets me. Chills, goosebumps and happy tears.
Same here, Its insane. Also a preview of what the first people on Mars will need to put up with, storms that black out the sun for weeks.
That was so good
One cubic foot of earth is much more interesting and filled with life.
@@sistersmayhem8236 yeesh. You're not a Mormon, are you?
Wow. That is awesome. Hopefully scientists can figure a way to have the probes clean their own solar panels like a brush that could move up and down (and hopefully not scratch the surface). Amazing that it lasted this long. NASA should be proud of it's accomplishments.
One day, Oppo will be in a place of honor, a testament to humanity's sheer will to explore, and the robot that survived for so much longer than it should have
This rover isn't dead. When we land on mars it's battery will be charged again and it will turn back on
Problem. Ii we get there (because I doubt Mars's viability as a place to long-term colonize so very much that I don't see the point, especially with those months-long, planet-wide sandstorms that make the Dust Bowl look pathetic), Opportunity's instruments and computer will be damaged beyond repair. The sand up there is extremely fine. It's not staying out of internal systems indefinitely.
Hopefully if we colonise it
@@shamsudeenma1928
Not just colonize, experiment with terraforming.... we need to know locally how moving/expanding outside our solar system might be accomplished. Can we automate, what can we expect, what source materials to collect/locate along the way, etc.
@@PCBEaR65 We can't terraform Mars to any significant degree. Without a magnetic field it can't hold an atmosphere or provide protection from solar radiation
@@PCBEaR65 Once AI exists, total automation will be possible. Humanity will continue its existence here on earth while AI life explores the stars, and that's ok! Once resources start coming back to earth we won't need to evacuate as the environmental damage will be fixable with with an intersolar supply chain. Simply imagine the hydrogen mines that could be built on Europa (granted the moon has no life to destroy of course).
Mars will be colonized anyway since at least one colony is required to avoid extictinction events. But outside of that? Non-Embryonic humans can't survive interstellar trips. Yet the length and danger of that same mission would be irrelevant to an AI. A sentient AI could repair on the fly and conduct research, just like a human, but probably better, and without a time limit on its lifespan. I know this is all theoretical, but there's no doubt in my mind that we can create AI and that AI will have far reaching, positive effects on our species. Let's just get those ethics laws in place once the time comes...
Love ur work. Lots of love and admiration from INDIA.
I donno, but i can feel u getting emotional.😭😭😭
Love your channel!
I worked on the planetary inser
tion of Spirit and Opportunity @ JPL, and this mission was a highlight in my tenure.
Donald Trump announced the space force in 2020. My understanding is that the U.S. has had Space Force since the 80s what's your take on that?
Nice work! All of these images are available publicly, but this is a fantastic presentation. I wish I'd found the previous videos first, and I'll likely go back and watch them at some point, but this scratches a huge itch in my brain.
What a monumentally successful mission. It is always sad when you have to finally pull the plug, but everyone involved with that mission should be very loud and proud about what they accomplished. It was SO much more than originally anticipated, and the data phenomenal.
Fantastic. Just FANTASTIC!
p.s. wish I'd found this much sooner.
Amazing series, Alex! Excellent work you put into this, really engaging and informational!
This is just amazing..
A moment of silence for our greatest rover of all time. You will be missed😢
Even though it was a machine, you gotta feel a little sad for it. Especially when it's last communication was "my battery is low and it is getting dark" A reminder of how our life as humans is precious and how we have a short time on Earth.
Indeed, very fitting moment to reflect on life....!

Thanks for detailing and views . Rip opportunity.
She was built right. Sleep well Opportunity. You earned it little bot!
I hope my son will one day see the actual rover in a museum. It is something to inspire a person to greater heights. The team that designed and built her must have been so proud.
What a lovely thought. 👍🚀💖
i think we should leave it there and make its final resting place a museum where we can look at it how it was in the moment the rover died, much like a fossil. would be better instead of bringing it back to earth
What a privelage to be alive during a most impressive advancement in human history. What I wouldn't give to see what humans will achieve in a thousand years for now. One can only imagine...
... transmigration will be revealed...
It most definitely will be impressive...if we do not destroy ourselves before then!😖

Amazing summary of a great voyage. Thank you, Astrum.
The narrative and emotion in this series are so good! Great job, Astrum! Felt like I knew the little rover by the end of it.

Im not really sure why, but viewing images of Mars, makes me sad. I think because its so desolate, not a single green thing (other than maybe rock), so lifeless. there is just something about the images that are just sad. Good job rover, you did good.
What makes me sad, is thought, that now we are mastering mars, what sort of mess will make of it, going by the mess they have made of the earth !
It reminds me of what Earth will become. Not by our hand of course, but in geological time. Then my mind goes to all the ecosystems dying with every record breaking heat wave each year from now until for ever more, while we more or less keep living our lives, and I see that the universe has no qualms about apocalypse.
Truly an astonishing feat of mankind
Your narration was really good, thank you for sharing
So sad! While I understand it was on "bonus" time... It is still so sad... Alex, your narration is so mesmerizing and demonstrates so much passion, I find myself in tears over Opportunity's last moment. You never cease to put me into "Awe" mode :-) As always, GREAT WORK!
Even though it’s absolutely incredible what this rover has accomplished, it also makes you realize how little of our solar system we have actually explored…
What an amazing feat of engineering and science. Rest well great explorer
