This story is following the life of Opportunity, or MER-B - an Mars mission rover and its sister rover Spirit. But also tells the stories behind the technology, engineering and numerous moments where we almost lost faith of a distant robot who has to overcome all hardships, dilemmas, severe environments of alien world, unexpected scenarios, etc. Those stories shines the greatest virtue of humankind - the wisdom, persistence and hope.
I am one of the many, who followed the landing of Spirit and Oppy on 2004 when as a child, and got inspired by it all the way till today, and proudly say that astronomy became my serious hobby and ultimate dream, and becomes part of my life.
This documentary is faithful to the real events, with very touching story telling techniques and put the spotlight on the human-side of this rover. I must say I am attached to this cute yet persistent robot from bottom of my heart.
