“It’s time for me to say goodbye,”

I'm not sure any greater string of words have ever, or will ever, be strung together. Where do these machines come up with this deep stuff?

Don’t anthromorphize spacecraft. They hate that.

I am guessing the message actually came from the twitter bot on earth and not from the spacecraft.

The computer program contained code to transmit those words. The team of programmers put that into the program. That and everything else was programmed. Gullible humans interpreted the words as having deep, emotional meaning, and felt a heartbreak.

It’s a pile of transistors, capacitors, memory units and wires!

“It’s time for me to say goodbye,” Philae tweeted on Tuesday. “Tomorrow, the unit on @ESA_Rosetta for communication with me will be switched off forever…”

It also sent back a photo...

On the old Twilight Zone series, for some reason they always pronounced robots as `robuts’.
