Long before I ever settled on being any sort of artist or musician, I was obsessed with robotics. Eventually I realised that just because I was good at drawing robots it didn't mean I was any good at the numbers side of things. But that fascination with robots has always stuck with me so when I heard the news of the Opportunity Rover, I knew I wanted to do something to mark the amazing achievement of the lil' guy up there and all the folks over at NASA who made it possible.
In 2004 Opportunity landed on Mars for a 90 day mission. But that mission ended up continuing for well over a decade. After a dust storm forced Opportunity into hibernation last year NASA spent months trying to wake him up. On February 13, 2019, NASA officials declared his mission complete.
This was a little mini project just to tide things over whilst I work on some bigger things so no fancy video for this one! Huge thanks to Eskelater for being able to turn around this instrumental so quickly!
