Opportunity is dead, after 15 years · 9:41pm Feb 13th, 2019
Please, give Opportunity a moment of silence and respect. NASA has declared Oppy as dead as of six hours ago. Fifteen years. Fifteen years is how long Oppy continued its mission, collecting data on the red planet for NASA and roaming the surface of the planet. Fifteen years, when its original mission was planned to only last 90 days. Fifteen years is a long time, folks. Longer than I've been alive. May Opportunity rest in peace, and may it lay in its final resting place for as long as the Martian winds and dust storms allow.
Kris Overstreet, one of my favorite authors, has also made a blog post about this. Check it out below.
A moment of silence, please.
I also made a meme in tribute.
