Here's that junk collector cleaning the solar panels, which was his job to do every two months for the past 15 years, allowing Opportunity to exceed its expected life span by 60 times. Here, the official NASA photo of him in silhouette:

Do you imagine it's just a coincidence that the Mars rover died on the same day as ... LYNDON LAROUCHE!!!!???
I don't think so ...

Opportunity's last message basically consisted of: "my battery is low and it's getting dark." Put that on my headstone.

The hover says "Thanks for bringing us along."
I got misty eyed.
Yeah. I'm a geek...

Sheila Jackson Lee wants to know why we can’t have one of the moon rovers stop by and give it a jump start.

Since then, over 830 rescue commands had been beamed to the rover. Rachel from card holder services must work for NASA. Opportunity took the phone off the hook.

It launched in 1871? Well, that’s just damn impressive. President Grant must have wanted a space project to bring the country together after the Civil War.

I just sent the article to my one daughter that likes this stuff like I do. We used to follow Opportunity around a bit years ago when she was in grade school, poster boards, etc. And fun to look at the moon and think of the stuff that was left up there, and then to mars to wonder what the rovers were doing up there at the moment.
