Timelapse of a Mars Rover
Вставка

- Using raw rover imagery and the sound of actual wind on Mars, I painted this little portrait of Opportunity, our faithful little martian rover friend that was lost earlier this year. Losing a rover feels a little like losing a pet. But for all that it accomplished, and for our ability to revel in all the awesome images it collected over its lifetime, its end is bittersweet. Oppy traveled 28 miles on Mars over a span of 14 years - an amazing feat of engineering and human ambition.
After sifting through thousands of raw Mars images for hours and hours, I have developed a strange sense of Mars as a real place I have been, riding alongside this little rover that could, making laps across rocky martian plains. My hope is this little portrait gives you a glimpse of that same feeling. Still can't believe we put a vehicle on mars that lasted almost 15 years. I don’t even expect my car to run that long. Humans are pretty rad sometimes.

hey guys. tried something a bit different for this piece - hope you dig it. any questions for me?
Game of Thrones remix season 5 ? :(
melodysheep you’re amazing
this video is absolutely astonishing, keep up the good work man!
@@siminka0101 I have attempted this, but I haven't inspired by anything that I've made. There's still a chance, but no promises. Also, the Gregory Brothers did a good one this year, don't want to step on their toes.
this was amazing, I wish it never ended.
"my battery is low and it's getting dark" is one of the saddest sentences ever.
I don’t feel so good mr stark
My battery is low and it’s getting dark
It's last message was actually "Tau=10.8" where tau is the value of how much light is absorbed by the atmosphere. So it's the technical way of saying "it's too dark outside"
@@syabilazri that's sad too :(
Herr Von Sinnen dude That is not what it said
That sentences make me deppresed.
It amazes me that the images still feel familiar, despite it being a different planet.
its all a conspiracy lol
@@Wildminecraftwolf You better be sarcastic there buddy
Didn't expect to see you here

@@Wildminecraftwolf OP has probably been to Arizona before.
Just when I was recovering from the timelapse of the future :'(
Mireillie Montalvo life is too short. I wanna live another two hundred years, at least. It’s not fair, why do some species of turtles and sharks get to live for hundreds of years but we, the most intelligent species on our planet, average at about 70-80 years? You’d be lucky to reach your 90th birthday, whereas there is a certain type of shark that doesn’t even reach sexual maturity until it is, give or take, 150.
@@ousarlxsfjsbvbg8588 Wait a hundred years to fuck ain't all that pleasant, aye? A shark might get to live through three centuries here on earth but what does it get? Hunting for food in dark waters over and over again, each and every day... That ain't worth a century, let alone three... Everything comes at a price, and having the processing power in our brains to colonise mars is quite worth only having less than a century to me. Of course I'd like some more time, but we can't get everything, at least not yet... Life seems unfair but it sort of balances istelf out in the end. You and I have around 60-80 years if we're lucky, better make some use out of it while we can, huh?
@Spartan 506 immortality is even worse
@Spartan 506 and see your relatives die , be full of scars from all these years , and spend an eternity by yourself after the universe dies. Youll either become an emotionless machine, or cry in a corner from seeing everything you like eventually end or die. In other words: time itself will fuck you up.
@Spartan 506 true immortality IS bad. Would you like staying in an empty universe for all eternity where everything died and only you remained? Prob not .
If we are talking about relative immortality, then things are completely different. Adding +100 years to a humans life would greatly improve humanity. But billions of added years wouldnt be that nice. This depends on many things like: do other humans gain this enhanced lifespan or just you? Do you keep scars? What will happen to your bones?
Where music and science meets,
Something Incredible happens.

Yeah and in black & white or doctored colour ? Miracle of modern science to drop it in the middle of nowhere ?
@@TheDogsboddy do you that that some of the photos are recorded in 3 different channels; RGB?
Francis Craig what are we in font of super clust of galaxies ! Human creation is unbelievably and undoubtably small asf .. and I who don’t even know anything about science ! What are we ?..
@@namitaagrawal562 Hi there fellow Indian! Strange to see you here, I thought Indians dont know that much about universe!
Oppy, the Voyagers, the Pioneers, Cassini....old friends, some gone, some very far away.
Don't forget the Vikings!
@@Wombattlr Or Pathfinder and Sojourner
I look forward to seeing what new missions can show us as they continue the legacy of our determined little robotic explorers, Dragonfly is one I'm very interested to see as it flies in the skys of Titan and samples it's strange hydrocarbon rich surface.
I can only hope these Pioneers names are chosen when the when we begin to build our first Cities on and around these worlds, it would be fitting
Also, Spirit! Oppy's twin.
@@AbhishekSanyalTGV the issue people would remember oppy and not poor little spirit
Opportunity is like the WALL-E of our time, determined to accomplish its job. Great video!
But walle didnt die all the way
@@zachcromwell3667 yeah, only on the inside...
It's designed to last only 90 days .
But survive for 14 years doing its duty.
Salute to oppy the space cowboy.
I didn't ask to be brought in tears watching this . Oppy's like our precious space puppy .
*See you , space puppy* .
You put words on what I imagine Oppy was : a space puppy :'(
A year later and its still brings people to tears 😢
Cya space cowb- puppy

Oppy dies - Everybody starts crying
Voyager 1 lost in deep space: *Am I a joke to you?*
several ten thousands of years pass by...
Voyager 1: *[finally passes by a nearby star]*
Voyager 1: "OMG! Earth! Earth! Take a look at this! I DID IT! I finally did it!!! I-... oh wait. Something approaches! Aliens?! Earth, I have found Aliens, I repeat, I... have... found... wait, what? Humans?!"
*[a garbage collector ship approaches from a nearby colonized planet]*
Space cleaner 1: "Oh, look! What is this? It's so old."
Space cleaner 2: "Oh shit... I think, it's Voyager 1!"
Space cleaner 1: "Wha... what should we do with it? Wasn't it like... important... back in the day? Should we like... sell it for sum cash orrr..."
Space cleaner 2: "Pshhh... whatever! Just toss it into that scrap pile. I wanna finish earlier today."
Space cleaner 1: "Sure." *[tosses]*
Voyager 1: *"AM I A JOKE TO EVERYONE!!!"*
@gizna countryhuman Actually distance isn't the issue, Voyager's RTG (Radio-isotope Thermal-electric Generator), that provides it's power is slowly wearing out, by 2025 maybe a little later it won't be providing enough power to run Voyagers systems anymore.
That said, it will certainly be missed, it's one of the longest lived missions ever launched, if we ever catch up with it Killkor it will definitely be worth more than enough to send to a museum XD
@@_Killkor HAHAHA WTF 😂
Voyager II; nope, we're still alive brother, let's see what else we can find before our reactors run out!
Also spirit, opportunity's twin sister that died in 2011: am i joke to you?
One day we will build a city where you rest now.
@@burlierknight66 We will build a great statue of you and Curiosity beside its gates!
and it'll be run by the same assholes as now
TH you can call them assholes but they did some great things
@@markotomanic550 the good people did this, scientists did this
@@dinko4711 I can attest that there are, indeed, scientists that are assholes; and assholes that are scientists. Doesn't mean they aren't good, incredible, smart people.
oh no I'm crying for a little space robot again
Me too, but it's not just a little space robot, it's a little space robot leading a frontier
@@andrewhumphrey1754 it's OUR little space robot leading a frontier ❤️ (Technically not ours but from our species)
pretty sure its size of a car...so I'd call it...our bige boye
@@Amiruny I think you're talking about curiosity
I'm crying actual tears rn.
Edit: This is a damn masterpiece
someone is cutting onions again, damn it.
When it was announced that Op had 'died' and then when it's last sentence was released, it hit me square and solidly in the feels :'(
Can't we just replace it's battery once we go there in future
If you laugh you sub! ?
Darshit Rathod probably but I think they will keep it preserved and once we have established colonies they will create a museum just for the rovers
14 years, 28 miles. Sounds like traffic in Southern California.
Lmfao
Dude... ouch lmao
Legend
Lmfao this caught me off guard after all those sad comments
As a Californian myself, that is indeed true 😂
It always amazes me how curious people are when it comes to learning about other worlds and planets, regardless where they are from! Warm greetings from Kazakhstan to all who are interested in studying space!
Such a simple nick
Returned love and well wishes from the U.S 🌟
Greetings from Finland! :)
Greetings from Venezuela!
Take some love from Asia too :)
villain that had a dramatic backstory: Humanity is evil, corrupt, and heartless. It's a disease and i'm the cure.
Majority of humanity: *cries over the best robot in outer space*
Melody, The Master. You are my Hero.
same feelings
*F*
Melodysheep, thanks for being in my life.
Thanks from me too!
MelodySheep: This is a lovely pocket-sized story, short and (bitter)sweet.
Oppy: You did good, little one. Thank you for taking us along your adventures, and you won't be forgotten.
very bad you used a colon where a semicolon was supposed to be used. 0/10 comment
Oppy deserves a requiem like this. Thank you.
Soon we go there and replace his batterys.
The music greatly complements the feeling of excitement for discovery
Beside do you know what is the music name ?
You know the title of it by chance????
“Don’t be sad that he died,be happy for what he gave us...... an opportunity”
an opportunity to salute
Indeed... Opportunity to secure our future...
ok u made it even sadder I am crying more now
An opportunity to know that water that life could exist in once existed on Mars in its past
"my battery is low, and it's getting dark..." The saddest qoute from a thing that doesn't even have a conciouns I have ever heard...
Thanks oppy we loved yah... And you deserved to be remembered like a human celebrity....
Thank you for this, again. Another showstopper.
This made me tear up, it's exactly like losing a cherished pet. Thank you Oppy!
it's fucking ridiculous how easy it is for Oppy content to make me cry. there are tears all over my keyboard.
Really beautiful. Good work friend.
I am so glad you also follow melodysheep!!:) Love your stuff Finn!
A beautiful video. What Oppy gave us will never be forgotten. One day we will find you Oppy and you can rest peacefully. #thanksoppy
Or we could just repair the rover...
@@av8973 we can't.
🥺🥺🥺
Mars: *has a storm*
Opportunity: NASA I don’t feel so good
I had exact same reactions for both of these!
why did some machine/technology make me cry?
Thank you for your hard work, Mr Opportunity
Lan Vu
I’m not sure what the scientists are doing, but they make their rovers like little children, which is why some are upset about Opportunity’s death.
I must include, Opportunity surpassed it’s designated lifespan, and was never meant to be operational for more than 55 days, which turned into 14 years, and has significantly aided the scientific community, similar to what Curiosity is doing right now.
Also I think rovers are cute
It was just an instrument -like Hubble, New Horizons, and many others. Just metal and silicon... my logic says to me.
But they do have soul somehow. In their story? In my observation of these stories? I know its just hypertrophied empathy, but I wonder...
Did Hubble wanted to be sent to the stars, it was watching at, with all its passion, with only mission? Not crash on Earth, it never saw...
Is New Horizons scared to face ethernity, leaving home, and home of its home, and further - for at least millennias?
And does the Oppy waiting for us, missing soft hands of creators, even if theres no future, at least to someone be next to at the end.
Just metal and silicon...
No, you can imagine with something even better.
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. They're *practically* all alone in the swarm of loneliness and utmost darkness, wandering to find and echo the humanity with little to no respons.
Now feel it, bro. They "aimlessly" wander around.
**ugly sobs**
they are instruments created with the will of brilliant human minds, to me that's everything . Thank you Oppy!
maaaaaaan. I m literally drenched in tears at this point
The soul is in the many people and hours of work it took to bring the ships to life and keep them running
I’m currently binging all your videos on your channel, and I’m serious when I say this: I hope you never stop making videos. You’re so talented. By doing this, you’re reaching millions of people’s hearts. Thank you so much for existing.
Saddest thing in this video is that oppy worked 14 years straight and he finally have time to rest👏
I'm not crying you're crying, goodnight sweet prince.
From those pictures you made me feel like the rover was a happy puppy just running around. Amazing
We will miss you Opportunity. Thank you for your service.
The first mars city should be named opportunity period.
Petition for people on mars to get oppy back.
Bullz Eye I’ll sigh it! Lol
No.
Lmao
I swear i'm not crying for a robot😭😭 Thank you so much Oppy for the 14 years! We'll always remember you, our hero💙
Thank you Oppy. Gone but never forgotten.
GOD DAMMIT WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS AGAIN
Man... Getting all the images right in sequence and making a photo animation like this... I really felt something deep inside me. Thank you Melodysheep...❤❤❤
This is absolutely beautiful. This brought me to tears. Thank you.
May Opportunity be forever remembered in our hearts, and thank you Oppy
What a wonderous and charming journey of a little life on Mars. Much love.
It amazes me that he lasted for that long he really helped us thanks to him we’ll have a chance to go to Mars thank you Oppy thank you for giving us opportunity
RIP little guy, you've made for a great time in history 😔 Rest Easy
It's so eerie that you look at some pictures taken by the rover and you thought "oh, this could be some places on earth" but it's on another planet.
Its our cosmic litle brother
Magic. Absolute magic as always. Melody Sheep is the gold standard for what science and music should aspire to create. Truly a masterpiece of innovation and creativity! 🤩🙌🔥
I only used to listen to your music and just recently I discovered that you also make videos (I showed the timelapse of the far future to all my friends instantly) and i love them! Keep going!
Man, I cry every time I watch this. Thank you Oppy. You are in our hearts.
Thank you for your videos. I have always enjoyed your blend of music, art, and science.
Outstanding. Flawless videos as always
The emotional impact of this short video, with just a time-lapse of photos and music, outclassed the entire documentary about Oppy that just released. Excellent job creating it.
Shut up
It’s a great movie
wow that rover has been driving around on mars for the duration of my entire life
and it was only designed, only expected to last 90 days, to last this long was beyond their wildest dreams, and it discovered so much in that time, we can only hope to live up to such a fantastic example
Just Freaking Awesome, Loving the Raw Mechanical Machine in the Mars Photos, plus, Mars and Space is our Future.
Oppy : " im dying cause of this storm!"
Perseverance( and all the other mars rovers): " I shall avenge you"
watching this video for probably the tenth time and it still overwhelms me with emotions, your work is incredible
i'm in tears right now! This is wonderful! These videos really help when i have a lot of stress being a Physics student. Thank you!
You are such an underrated youtuber and deserve so much more :) your videos are outstanding
You have a beautiful vision of things. Definitely a subscription!
Thank you oppy for being on mars
And we will Never forget you as well...
Coming back to this video 3 years later, still every bit as wonderful a moving tribute to Oppy and her loving team's achievements, as i remember feeling when viewing the first time
Man. I love you. You always manage to make me smile when I feel like shit, give me hope, and remind me there is so many other things more important than what ever pretty bullshit consumes me today. Everytime I see a notification from your channel it lights up my day, and I keep it on repeat. Thank you.
Even if it takes MILLENIA, we are gonna go get Oppy and bring our little space robot home again.
He IS home however, what we should do is build a museum around him where he lived and died, on Mars, to let future generations remember the steps, big or small, it too to get us there
Just incredible, you are one of most cherished Channels, thank you so very much, for all the hard work you do. You cheer my day, when ever l see one of your video's. Australia. xxx
There is a lot of work of many people behind this rover
Thanks to all of them, thanks to Opportunity
And thank you, Melodysheep ❤
I am so glad I am living in this time where ppl almost can reach another planet!
"Humans can be pretty rad sometimes" you mean such as yourself? As a musician/producer and someone is fascinated by space myself, you're way too inspiring, my dude. geeeeeeez. Plz don't ever stop creating this art
I have never seen anyone compiling those Mars shots, this is just breathtaking. A great homage to Oppy!
!!!!!!! Yay....warms my heart! Brilliant as always!
Dude, (as I assume) you make the best videos
This has more emotions than a sad movie
'And miles to go before I sleep.' Robert Frost. What an accomplishment by the team. Opportunity, to a machine, thank you for all the moving pictures of vistas so long ago certainly blue...and green.
Absolutely wonderful, I'm a big fan of space exploration and the MER program really turned out to be something special. Great video and wonderful music!
“crafted” by. Love it.
This is just amezing.
This was so sad but beautiful. Thank you for making this.
Honestly, this creator needs more recognition. Your videos are my favourite ❤️
He deserves a statue on mars no ifs no buts
But the
*Wall-E* version real life
If it's the Wall-E it will not end
Perfect tribute to a perfect rover.
Gorgeous. Magnificent work as always
man Opportunity was one tough Rover...Rest in peace fella
Death: Time to go liitle fella
Oppy : was i a good rover??
Death : NO , I heard you were the best...
The images gives goosebumps!!!
Definition of opportunity: a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something.
Hey I just played one of the symphony of science songs and then you uploaded this right after!
Cheers!
I smiled watching this, I cried watching this, beautiful video, we will never forget you OPPY
I truly enjoy this, it's so mesmerizing looking to all of the footages, the music works really well with the visual too, i really really like this piece, great job melodysheep 💕💕
I honestly can't wait for perseverance's drone pictures.
Tomorrow Thursday 18/2/21 it's landing
I wish I could subscribe twice. This still makes me emotional.
I cried.. thanks for the tribute !
opportunity:
mars: im about to end this man's whole career
I am crying over a robot now because he said, "My battery is low and it's getting dark".
Lads, we humans are complex.
I have been sobbing since curiosity since hbd and now checked out oppy..ugly crying ngl and idekwhy
Goose bumps! Goose bumps all over....
Oppy you will for ever be remembered in our hearts and on Mars from the beautiful tracks you made you will be missed Oppy
Perseverance make entrance first word : We'll find you Brother.
Once we get to Mars I want to gather all the rovers together and celebrate what we've come to.
Thank you for this. Great job.
Its crazy how something as simple as a little rover can tell a story that humanity can't exactly experience yet. Its just simply beautiful and I'm in love with this channel
Now that is a cool tribute to Opportunity. Very well made!
When we get to Mars, we should name one of our settlements there Opportunity, or at least recover the rover and put it in a museum (Mars, or Earth), celebrating the plucky little rover that could and helped us get one step closer to Mars!
That's what I'm thinking too, it's meaningful
