  1. oh come on, this is incredible! over a week later, when it supposedly had power only for several hours, things got back on track again! science and technology i guess…
    and, hopefully, humanity too

    remember the movie ‘martian’? this one should definitely be ‘moonshine’;) not the booze ofc! 😀 we just scienced the… shine out of it (and that got the batteries running again)

  2. Very nice feat of engineering! I didn’t believe it could regain power, I was wrong and glad I was!

  3. For some reason, I find this -super cool-.

    The most precise landing, ever, IN SPITE of the mishap at the end, and then an autonomous rover designed commonly by a government agency, an academia, an IT giant and a toy company succesfully deploying and taking a pic.
