The Sad End Of The Mars Rover Opportunity



Ever since I was I was a boy, I have been fascinated with robots, and today I have quite a collection of battery operated ones.

Little and not so little ones that roll all over the house, amuse my friends and scare their dogs.

But there are no robots that fascinate me more than the ones exploring Mars.

So today I am in mourning.

Curiousity, Mars, and the Triumph of Humanity


I just can't help myself eh? I just had to insert the Cons, like an ugly alien probe, into this amazing story.

The US space agency has just landed a huge new robot rover on Mars. The one-tonne vehicle, known as Curiosity, was reported to have landed in a deep crater near the planet's equator at (05:32 GMT). 

It will now embark on a mission of at least two years to look for evidence that Mars may once have supported life.
