It's kind of silly getting emotional over a machine, but I feel much the same way about my 20 year old Camaro that I have owned since new. It's done a brilliant job, much more than I expected when I bought it. Not only 293,000 miles on it, 293000 Andy Miles. Still the original engine, and no rust holes in the body. 20 Michigan winters. 'nuff said. Bravo to the engineers and technicians that create our wonderful machines.

When Opportunity landed on Mars, I was in the Navy, deployed overseas. I was able to watch the landing and initial imagery being sent back live. When the team realized that Opportunity had landed in a shallow crater and was able to see Martian bedrock for the first time ever, it was an amazing moment to watch. I’ve always felt a small kinship to Opportunity over the years and have followed its progress across Mars. Now that we’re both “retired” with dust in our joints, I feel a bit sad that Opportunity no longer transmits. But one day, someone will find it in Marathon Valley and perhaps find one more secret to share with humanity. I hope I’m still alive to hear from Opportunity one more time.

Problem. Ii we get there (because I doubt Mars's viability as a place to long-term colonize so very much that I don't see the point, especially with those months-long, planet-wide sandstorms that make the Dust Bowl look pathetic), Opportunity's instruments and computer will be damaged beyond repair. The sand up there is extremely fine. It's not staying out of internal systems indefinitely.

Once resources start coming back to earth we won't need to evacuate as the environmental damage will be fixable with with an intersolar supply chain. Simply imagine the hydrogen mines that could be built on Europa (granted the moon has no life to destroy of course). Mars will be colonized anyway since at least one colony is required to avoid extictinction events. But outside of that? Non-Embryonic humans can't survive interstellar trips. Yet the length and danger of that same mission would be irrelevant to an AI. A sentient AI could repair on the fly and conduct research, just like a human, but probably better, and without a time limit on its lifespan. I know this is all theoretical, but there's no doubt in my mind that we can create AI and that AI will have far reaching, positive effects on our species.

In 1969, all of my family and friends were in front of the TV whenever the Apollo Mission was being televised, or when programmes dedicated to the Mission were shown. This was England, UK, so I can only imagine how excited the US public were at the time. Now we have stunning images of Mars, but the lack of TV interest mirrors the lack of public interest, when it comes to Mars Rovers. Thank God for the Internet, as we now have regular updates available. Were it for the regular media, we have learnt nothing about these incredible missions.
