I love a good story, and I’ll have to watch Goodnight Oppy.
Here’s a shorter documentary about the Mars rover Opportunity.
The true worth of space exploration is that it channels the genius of mankind into answering riddles of creation, rather than killing each other.
I noticed the Opportunity rover travelled six moths and hit the center of a crater only 60 feet wide. That approximates the technological genius it took a century ago for a 12 inch shell from a naval rifle fired from a battleship traveling at 21 knots that was pitching, yawing and rolling to hit another battleship as far as 20,000 yards away that was also traveling 21 knots.
But it’s far less destructive, you know?
