I'm astonished at just how much of an absolute trooper this thing was over the course of 15 YEARS of service, exploring one of the most inhospitable environments one could imagine. Absolutely amazing, the things we're capable of creating as a species. This rover, its incredible longevity and durability, and the volumes of information it's managed to give us, is an excellent testament to what our species can accomplish ^_^
Agree--it was an extremely well done video; never realized that Opportunity seemed to have so much 'personality' of its own. I can start to imagine the bittersweet end to the mission. Well timed; looking forward to episode 3
This is just another example of NASA outdoing itself. It seems the great majority of their missions last much longer than planned, but this one has to be a record! I've said this before, Alex, but will do so again. I can still remember my excitement and wonder as a 12 year old, seeing those first boot prints on the Moon. At 62, I have some years ahead of me, but most certainly there are more behind. My fervent wish is to be transported in time to 1969 and to feel that wonder again, this time on Mars! Please, pretty please, can we send a manned mission there before it's my time? Perhaps they could put Alex in charge of narration!
Nothing makes me smile more than space videos and your space videos make my face hurt! I'm rewatching before I watch the new one and dang it's still all so amazing!!! Thank you, Alex.
Thank you so much for the work you did on the Rovers on Mars. I am fascinated by Mars and believe the people who were involved with this mission should be congratulated.
I never tire of looking at the surface of Mars. It's incredible to think that just over a century ago we were tinkering around with pieces of wood and canvas just to get 100 feet in the air. Now we've landed something on ANOTHER F#$@ING PLANET ! p.s I just subbed
As usual, no idea that you're being duped again. Shall we continue with some truthful & informative breakfast news on you trusted mainstrem news network?
One day in the future, when many humans occupy Mars. there will be a musium, and our rover will take its place in history, for future generations to look at and learn. Opportunity will live on.
@@dosmastrify I think it's quite certain that in 100 years we'll be quite a bit better at space travel, i would be extremely surprised if we aren't harvesting asteroids within 100 years.
Siddharth Bhardwaj people don’t realize how hard it was for scientist like Thomas Alwa Edison to invent electricity which are now being wasted with people like me. Anyhow do we think about those struggles? Naah we only complain when current cut.
On the 12th of February 2019, NASA send its last message in order to established contact with Opportunity. The mission was ended shortly after. Good job kiddo and thank you.
Mark Watney had an "opportunity" to get Opportunity in "The Martian" novel, but this was left out of the film since he did not accidentally short out Pathfinder in the film unlike the novel.
After spending many months in Australian deserts having to put up with extremely fine bulldust, I feel I can say, it's about time NASA builds a retractable transparent canopy dome that goes over the entire Rover that cam locks and seals down to the base plate for any impending dust storm.
That's more equipment that has to have more stucture to support it, thus more mass, thus requiring more fuel. And the big issue with that? More fuel means you need more fuel to carry the fuel
Great video with beautiful background music! :) NASA and other space agencys from all over the world showed us many many times, what they are capable of even with very low budget. And yes, comparable to military, budget of space agency is almost laughable when you think about those wonderfull achievements. I love space programs, space agencys and people who working there. Their work ethic and enthusiasm are one big inspiration. :)
I always get a kick out of people talking about habitats on Mars living off solar power. Nope. Not for anything important on a planet that has had year long dust storms. Nuclear power is a must.
Do the rovers have all wheel drive, i hope im still alive to see a human walk on mars, these rovers are champions, anything space, youre the man. Thankyou for the videos..
Such a good video. The way you lined up all the footage of the rover is amazing and this is the first time I've seen such a clear explanation of what this rover has been doing.
I want to talk to the 125 people that dislike this video. Why???? Your presentation is second-to-none. Of course assisted by NASA's wonderful pictures.
Been wacthing this channel for a while and you sound so friendly. You sound like you're constantly smiling throughout every video. It's really relaxing. Oh and I love your videos. Great effort yields great content. I'll be waiting patiently for the next part
I've got some left over from the 4th of July I was going to use on New Years eve, but it looks like you'll put it to better use. I'll see if I can get my neighbors to send you theirs as well.
The rocket wasted too many expenses in metals through stages of saparation. A blast of ship without booster would be easy and nice. Like a Boeing style spaceship
Really interesting video. I think what the NASA engineers need to do next time they're designing a rover is test the wheels in flour as that seems to be the consistency of some of those sand dunes.
What a shame.it lasted so long..what a machine.i hope it comes back but if it don't.it will go down in history.as one of the best robot rovers we've ever had

Great job Opportunity we'll always remember you.
Damn, Alex, I'm not sure it is normal if a 40 year old man finishes watching this with tears in his eyes! ;)
HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT STOP LOOKING THROUGH MY WINDOWS
CrazyReii You take them too seriously.
CrazyReii With them (I know one) I’m avoiding discussion on THE topic. In his other ways he’s pretty normal. If not I would try to avoid him at all:)

I think we are mirror images of each other. For a brief moment I thought I'd written that :-)
No
@@occamsrayzor Nope- I did. What YOU wrote was...LOL!
@@albclean Why not? I'll grant it would be quite an undertaking, but it could certainly be done within the next 20 years.
Three years younger, and that was a fantastic time. I too, want to see real time video from Mars, it WILL change history!!!!
Nothing makes me smile more than space videos and your space videos make my face hurt! I'm rewatching before I watch the new one and dang it's still all so amazing!!! Thank you, Alex.

13-02-2019 The mission is over... R.I.P. Opportunity.
Because they didn't add motors to solar panels so they could move and shake the sand off.
R.I.P opportunity
@@MIMALECKIPL that's not necessarily true. When batteries get to far drained they cant be recharged.
I'd send a rover to investigate the massive crack on Mars. Try find out what the cause was.
@@MIMALECKIPLthats a thing that could fail over time
I never tire of looking at the surface of Mars. It's incredible to think that just over a century ago we were tinkering around with pieces of wood and canvas just to get 100 feet in the air.
Now we've landed something on ANOTHER F#$@ING PLANET !
p.s I just subbed
even more impressive, we've even landed a lander probe on one of Saturn's moon's
This is brilliant mate, so good. You do a really good job explaining it all, well done.
As usual, a magnificently informative video. You really have a high standard. Top notch content!!
As usual, no idea that you're being duped again. Shall we continue with some truthful & informative breakfast news on you trusted mainstrem news network?
Matej Mazur And what are you talking about? You don‘t believe there was a rover up there?
Lllllll0llllllllllllllllllllllllll//////////////////////00/fuck you
Great job for this episode too.
I think the background music was bit loud at times.
Damn F ING right. The video creator is such a Bozo
Came here to say this
One day in the future, when many humans occupy Mars. there will be a musium, and our rover will take its place in history, for future generations to look at and learn.
Opportunity will live on.
Watching this for a school project about mars and finaly I enjoy watching scientific videos
Why am I so emotional?? It's not a robot is it, it's a little fighter. I love you little guy, RIP
It will live on in a Museum one day
It's just the music. They got u.
Aftr 100 years..people won't recoginse..how hard was to travel and send rovers to other planets
We can hope, remember in the 60s people though we would have a moonbase and Mars base by now though....
Or else they won't believe is was ever done in the first place.
(See lunar landing hoax conspiracists for reference)
@@dosmastrify I think it's quite certain that in 100 years we'll be quite a bit better at space travel, i would be extremely surprised if we aren't harvesting asteroids within 100 years.
Maybe we would have find life in mars

Breathtaking video! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks. Another lovely presentation.
"30 day mission"
Opportunity: No I want to live forever :'
90 days/sols*
its just a robot but it makes me so sad its lost the fight of the dust storm R.I.P Opportunity 2004-2018
@JAN DOMINI CALICA no it's not
@JAN DOMINI CALICA nvm yes it is
Thank you so much for the excellent narrative!
Another excellent delivery of knowledge
This is so inspiring! Baby Rover travelling Mars 😍
Thank you for representing the awsome story of our cute forerunner on Mars.
Great summary ! Let’s hope those panels get ‘cleaned’ by the winds
Great video. You filled my learn something new everyday quota and it's only 8:47 am. Thanks. 👍
Another great video!
Can't wait for the curiosity serie
yesss episode two! I waited 54 years
Literally awesome
wonderful videos,
the narrator is excellent..
thankyou for sharing this.. 🙂
You sound exactly like physicist Brian Cox. Quite appropriate for a video like this, local dialect, tone of voice and the dwelling mid sentence.
My first subscription.
Best channel ever!!! Keep it up!!!
Thank you, Alex! 👀
Pls episode 3 if you have I love it so much
Coming soon!
On the 12th of February 2019, NASA send its last message in order to established contact with Opportunity. The mission was ended shortly after. Good job kiddo and thank you.
Awesome!!!!
Amazing ending in this video 😭 👏 😭👏😭👏👏👏👏👏
Best channel on youtube

Keep up the good work!
Dunno why such videos make me cry
After spending many months in Australian deserts having to put up with extremely fine bulldust, I feel I can say, it's about time NASA builds a retractable transparent canopy dome that goes over the entire Rover that cam locks and seals down to the base plate for any impending dust storm.
You should email them this.
If only the engineers placed some wipers on the solar panels to remove the dusts.
They have to learn by their mistakes!!!
That's more equipment that has to have more stucture to support it, thus more mass, thus requiring more fuel. And the big issue with that? More fuel means you need more fuel to carry the fuel
Thanks for the vids, and info for science junkies....
Amazing good work.

Astrum: do you really enjoyed this video?
Me: i certainly am 🙂 looking forward for more Mars missions
Great Video. I think you should make your own documentary film
Great video as always.......you sure put some work into them for us.....and we DO appreciate it...
thank you for making this vidro. it's give me so much joy
I hope that we can rescue opportunity someday. For now, sleep well sweet prince
This is amazing thank you so much!
Parabéns fantástico o documentário gostei muito
Keep up the good work. I always look forward to your content.
Opportunity Mars mission in a nutshell, I'm loving it :-)
Love this stuff ,so greatful for this ch i am so amazed by this.
Great video baby 😍
Thank you so much man. Thank you for expanding my knowledge. I really enjoyed watching this video.
Amazing!!!!
Yes! Been waiting on this one! Great work yet again Astrum! 👍
Like the face on Mars (They send the very best!!)
Very nice channel ! I have only just found it !
Well just have to wait for whoever has been cleaning the solar panels for the last several years to do their job.
You had one job to do!
One!
Sounds like the job offer in the 'Goon show' radio broadcast episode 'Napoleon's Piano'
That was Brilliant.!😉
RIP spirit and opportunity
Thank you soooo much for sharing your knowledge and explanation. :-) Ready for more.
Weird that is the exact terrain as the north west territories here in canada.
More martians in Canada though
9:58 A nice looking soft top or canvas top car stuck in a reef!!
I am the lucky one that came across this channel😇
🌍Thank you channel owner🌠
Another great video. Thank you for this wonderful channel.

Please do a video on curiosity!!!
Launch me out there with a bottle of Windex! Hold my beer.
Do the rovers have all wheel drive, i hope im still alive to see a human walk on mars, these rovers are champions, anything space, youre the man. Thankyou for the videos..
Thank you for always uploading. It's the best channel on RUclips. Respect✌️
fantastic.
rest in peace
Quality!
Wrap the solar panels in plastic stick little airbags in to launch the plastic off.. Or windshield wipers
The title should read "What technical difficulties did Opportunity experience on Mars"
Your voice is so soothingly sweet makes me fall asleep
Brilliant
I like this allot
What if earth is the only planet that is still alive and we are just exploring dead planes that maybe had life.
Very interesting video.
any one else feel like this rover is all our baby. our little hero of eathg. I love her
Rest In Peace Opportunity :(

Superb production
Just send me to Mars and I will fix opportunity! All I need is my tool bag and some scrap parts and I guess a decent rocket!
I've got some left over from the 4th of July I was going to use on New Years eve, but it looks like you'll put it to better use. I'll see if I can get my neighbors to send you theirs as well.
The rocket wasted too many expenses in metals through stages of saparation. A blast of ship without booster would be easy and nice. Like a Boeing style spaceship
@@Dragzilla66 10-4 I'm on it
And a spacesuit
Need oxygen and a spacesuit that can withstand extremely low temps
That'll do, rover. That'll do.
Part 3 plz, I love your channel + your new sub
Really interesting video. I think what the NASA engineers need to do next time they're designing a rover is test the wheels in flour as that seems to be the consistency of some of those sand dunes.
They should have put windshield wipers on it
