My battery is low and it's getting dark.

How A Tweet About The Mars Rover Dying Blew Up On The Internet And Made People Cry

"My battery is low and it's getting dark" is now the subject of memes, YouTube videos and T-shirts.

In a twist that should surprise no one, it turns out the Rover never said its famous last words. 

That sentence was invented by a journalist out of thin fucking air. 

That’s why it sounded so human.

Because it fucking was.

Now can we please go back to considering the Rover a stunning piece of technology whose battery ran out? Because that’s pretty amazing in and of itself, without the need to imagine it had a complex inner life or ‘died’ in any way.
