sometimes you have to let certain feelings just pass through you. you feel it, then you let it go. you don’t hold on and you don’t act on it. it’s just visiting you for a moment and doesn’t have to mean much more

I'm the tall glass of water you lost in your kitchen

I'm casually cruel like a senior prediction

Most likely to leave at the sign of a fork in the road

You looked just like your father as the news was delivered

Cut a hole in my heart that bled into my liver

I miss being alone when it didn't mean being alone

And, if love was contagious, I might be immune to it

Pain’s like cold water, your brain just gets used to it

So I want to share something personal about this album. During April I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and it was scary at the time because I used to have a fear of going places. So when I was terrified about what was going on I just listened to this album and it became my comfort. Whenever I couldn’t sleep or I was nervous I would just listen to it and it really helped me get through the days. It was really my comfort and I couldn’t of made it through it without it I don’t think. So I just want to say thank you to this amazing amazing band for writing this album and having lyrics that helped me get through my tough time.

10 years later I flew to Las Vegas to see this album performed in full. I have a hard time acknowledging that I’ve grown and that I’m proud of myself, but this one really got to me. I never thought I would get older, and despite how hard things get I really am happy I chose to stick around.

If this lasts forever I’ll be just fine You are the rustling of leaves You are that honeysuckle breeze You are the sunlight Shine onto me

You we born on a leap year. Fill in the gaps. Spinning gears keep catching your cracks, skipping teeth, keep calling you back, telling stories pretending they’re fact. Let me go. Too unstable to wane. Chewing wildflowers to numb the pain.

Cut the lines. You’ll be fine but if you break when I break, will you carry me away? Will you fall on your blade just to hear when I’m saying I can’t?

“my battery is low and it’s getting dark” is so hauntingly human, so crushingly lonely. I can’t articulate the deep, profound ache that sentence evokes. It’s acceptance and defeat and terror and sadness all at once, all from one tiny machine we asked to explore the stars for us.

[shrupdedup]

Oppy lived so long, saw so much and shared so much with us. Is that not the quintessential thing we want in a life? If we can find humanity in her last message why not place it in the context of her whole life? I read the transmission not as lonely defeat but an old soul winding down, saying goodbye because she knows we’re listening, embracing an end we all knew would one day come.

Live like a Mars Rover. Share the things you love! Go a little bit further even when you’re past your 90 days! And sometimes we have to say goodbye, but remember we’re all so proud of you.

This is a good addition

this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

[mevsthhighway]

they didn’t abandon her!! they tried eight months to reach her!!!! as their last farewell to her yesterday they played her “I’ll be seeing you” by Billie Holiday:

“I’ll find you in the morning sun

And when the night is new

I’ll be looking at the moon

But I’ll be seeing you”

They love her so much and they tried so hard!!!

[stickmanbrandon]

Oh man, It doesn’t end there.

This isn’t the first song NASA sent Opportunity. They had a playlist:

https://www.space.com/41434-mars-rover-opportunity-wakeup-music-playlist.html?fbclid=IwAR3uL6q4tOmLQTIEhiwYegGc99nv4N01HQKItpCLQiQYIptBOevNN6uIyT8

It’s on Spotify, it’s called “Opportunity, wake up!“

This is what’s great about NASA and it’s what’s great about people. These are world-class engineers. When they sent a rover to another planet they could have easily looked at it as just another scientific tool. But people don’t do that. We can and will get emotionally attached to the most inanimate of objects. We can and will anthropomorphize anything. And frankly Opportunity’s camera mast looks like a little face with eyes and everything, so why not?

So they started calling it her.

They nicknamed her Oppy.

They told her to take a selfie not long ago.

After 15 years of Oppy flipping the double bird to her original 90 day life expectancy, when a planet-spanning dust storm finally knocked her out and she stopped responding to the engineer’s wake-up messages, they started playing music for her.

And after 8 months and almost 1000 unanswered wake-up messages, when it was finally clear that Oppy was never going to wake up, the last thing these world-class NASA engineers did for their little rover on another planet

Was play her a love song
