  • My battery is low, and its getting dark.
    This is the final message NASA scientists received from the opportunity rover on mars. Launched in the summer of 2003, along with its twin rover spirit, the missions were designed to last just 90 days. After surviving on Mars for almost 15 years, in 2018; Opportunity went silent.

    It felt like the two were humans and not rovers. However, I hope that some day, humans will rescue both the rovers. And, at that time, they both, will russurect.

      They said the last message “basically” said “my battery is low and it is getting dark.” The rover really said something explaining how it’s solar panels were being blocked by dust. They made it sound extra sad because lots of people were actually quite sad that Opportunity was gone.

    We all feel emotions towards both of these rovers because through their time on Mars, the a
    AI had developed in a way where you can sense the scared and depressed human emotions in opportunity and spirits last dying message. Imagine you being cold and alone and no way to get any energy like opportunity was. Imagine being stuck in sand with no one to help you, becoming a stationary, abandoned platform and poorly saying that you are cold and its getting dark.
