So unexpected. Something that works way overtime. That’s a good thing.

So to the rover died because there was a dust storm and it relied on solar power. Did anybody consider a few AAA batteries for backup? MarsRover

VinceSamperio Sad day for Mr. Wong I bet. Don’t go der Kay.🖖

r.i.p. little robot. thanks for all the data you sent back. NASA

The end of an era. RIP Oppy!😥

NASA Maybe the Rover was capturing not only his own tracks but uncovering futuristic architecture built by Alien life times ahead of us.

They should name a high school after you.

Amazing feat of science. Hopefully, the robot can be picked up when humans visit soon.

Happy trails.

Barack has the best words. Also, someone NASA best send dateline_keith to get the real story about the 'death' of Oppy.

Poor thing.

Trump will deny all the science Opportunity sent to us. He'll declare it fake!

The epitome of Live Long and Prosper.

Pretty wild that in 14 years, lil Oppy traveled just over 7 kms.

Farewell, MarsRover.

Opportunity is dead...which isn’t just true for NASA but also accurately describes my career. OpportunityRover Opportunity

That’s rude now I’m sad

Pretty awesome!

Plucky robot could come online again...;)

You will be missed and your legacy never forgotten. Your name will live on in time immemorial. May our future Martian Humans give you the proper funeral you deserves. Rest in peace Oppy.

He's not dead, he's just resting. Once we get on Mars, we'll have crews sent out to collect all of the old rovers. They're not forgotten, just offline.

Long Live Opportunity

RIP
