My battery is low and it's getting dark
I prefer the existential dread of the original. π
Hell yeah science/scientists et al.
Oh my gosh what is this from? The one where Wallace and Gromit go to the moon?
Aye, laddie, thatβs A Grand Day Out. Now be a good sport and pass the Wensleydale, would you?
Haha, I knew that was the one! Oh man. Good times.
To replenish their depleted supply of cheese, inventor Wallace and his dog Gromit travel to the moon in a homemade rocket-ship.
Worth a watch, definitely.
Carefully, heβs a hero
One day in the distant future, that little guy will be sitting in a museum.
Not unless it's a museum in Mars. Bringing it back to Earth would be a massive waste of resources.
Octospider can have a little dream, as a treat.
The Jawas will probably pick it up some day.
That thing was such an inspiration. Also, for once they took some risk and it really paid off.
c3po and r2 are wandering away from it
Did it not live YEARS past its expected time?
Any chance the rover can like... Repair it?
I mean, of course it's alone. I'd be quite surprised if it wasn't. Is this some sort of attempt to get us emotionally weepy about a broken drone?
If it is it's bloody working
Do you feel sorry for the helicopter? That is because you crazy.
I've binged too many Star Wars animated series not to feel sad about broken drones left behind. β€οΈπ€β€οΈ
ππ that's freaking good.
Got me into a lamp horror movie vibe by the time the dude shows up.
"We couldn't be prouder or happier with how our little baby has done," said Teddy Tzanetos, Ingenuity Project Manager at JPL, during a livestreamed tribute to the helicopter on Jan. 31. "It's been the mission of a lifetime for all of us. And I wanted to say thank you to all of the people here that gave their weekends, their late nights. All the engineers, the aerodynamic scientists, the technicians who hand-crafted this aircraft."
Bet JPL could invent something to get even you to care :p
Marvin the Martian is around, but is good at avoiding the cameras
