Robotic Explorers - A 2019 art prompt

Just teared up watching „Good Night Oppy“.
Must be a side-effect of the flu.
Also a good job my wife isn’t here, as that’s normally her part when we watch a movie. With people as the main characters.

Just so we are clear, next time "we" send something to Mars it will come with some sort of broom or martian dust sucker/blower right ?

I don't want to go through this "My battery is low and it is getting dark" crap again...it's bad for my heart...

Good Night Oppy is full of drama, suspense, adventure, and a better story than most movies. It's a great way to get kids and adults alike into science and space exploration. Definitely a must-watch.

You should all watch Good Night #Oppy !
It's a great engineering story but also just a feel good movie.

I've put my #LEGO #Oppy model up on Bricklink (my #Perseverance & #InSight models are also there).
I have instructions for building it, and I can provide those to my space friends (and especially those who worked on the mission). If you don't already have the parts, looks like they'd cost about $45US from Bricklink.

Watched the #Oppy movie. May or may not have cried.

Thoroughly enjoyed the newly released documentary film "Good Night Oppy" about the twin missions of the Mars Spirit and Opportunity rovers.

Searched a little for references and see that @mikeseibert and @doug_ellison were mission members and they share a few toots and info about it.

This article is an interview with film director Ryan White: https://ew.com/movies/good-night-oppy-ryan-white-mars-rover-documentary/ and a video interview is at https://youtu.be/RfdljYdPYvA

#Oppy’s legacy lives on.

De esas cosas chulas que pasan ahí arriba

Just watched #GoodNightOppy, who else has seen it and what did you think? I loved the very human story of #Oppy and her twin. Great to hear from people like @doug_ellison et al who worked on the mission and the personal connection to the ‘hardware’. Pretty emotional stuff all in all! #marsrover #mars #astro #spaceexploration

@ILMVFX@twitter.com The documentary highlights not only the technical exploit but also the scientific one, especially what Oppy and her twin Spirit brought to science and knowledge.
A film not to be missed!

Another batch of revisions for #LEGO #Oppy from tonight.
I'm a lot happier with this configuration for the rocker-bogie system (I've been trying to find a good use for the 'crankshaft' elements for awhile now). The mast and high gain antenna mount are also much better now, too. Added details, the low-gain & uhf antennas, the sundial, the front & rear hazcams, and even the power indicator.
Now I just need to order the correct wheels and this may be done!! #LEGONASA #NASAJPL #Mars #GoodNightOppy

Okay, quick update.
When I get the proper wheels onto the back of #Oppy, the front wheels will need to be slightly farther out to the side.
So, taking a tip from Curiosity, I added a few pieces.
Bonus feature: I have all the pieces to do this for both sides, so the model is done (for now)!

The new #NASA documentary #GoodNightOppy is just delightful.

Only a few minutes in & I already LOVE it!

I will always be grateful that #twitter told Oppy’s story a few years ago.

The little Mars River that was sent on a 90 day mission, but went on for 15 years before sending her last transmission 😭💖
