    It's kind of silly getting emotional over a machine, but I feel much the same way about my 20 year old Camaro that I have owned since new. It's done a brilliant job, much more than I expected when I bought it. Not only 293,000 miles on it, 293000 Andy Miles. Still the original engine, and no rust holes in the body. 20 Michigan winters. 'nuff said.

    When Opportunity landed on Mars, I was in the Navy, deployed overseas. I was able to watch the landing and initial imagery being sent back live. When the team realized that Opportunity had landed in a shallow crater and was able to see Martian bedrock for the first time ever, it was an amazing moment to watch.
    I’ve always felt a small kinship to Opportunity over the years and have followed its progress across Mars. Now that we’re both “retired” with dust in our joints, I feel a bit sad that Opportunity no longer transmits. But one day, someone will find it in Marathon Valley and perhaps find one more secret to share with humanity. I hope I’m still alive to hear from Opportunity one more time.

      i think we should leave it there and make its final resting place a museum where we can look at it how it was in the moment the rover died, much like a fossil. would be better instead of bringing it back to earth

    The year is 2230. A group of Martionauts finally finish their 230 kilometer wander into the Marathon crater.
    In the distance they spot a strange buggy. They wander up, and clean the dust atop the little rover.
    As it turns on after it's 215 year old slumber, one of the Martionauts say: "Good morning little fella! Had a good sleep?"
