Real broken up about Super Dave
Super Dave and Mean Gene...
RIP
Wait, they both died at age 76? (maybe I misread)
Came here to post that. Super bummed. He was so great on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Bob Einstein was a comedic genius. Easily my favorite character on Curb. His timing & facial expressions (or lack thereof) were amazing. A major loss in entertainment.
Oreo, the racoon that James Gunn and the Guardians of the Galaxy crew modeled Rocket after, passed away at the age of 10.
Albert Finney
Loved him in 'Big Fish'.
[RIP] Marilyn Munroe - "The nicest thing for me is to sleep, At least then you can dream."
[RIP] Princess Diana - "Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that someday someone with do the same for you."
[RIP] Carl Sandburg - "Poetry is an echo, waiting for a shadow to dance."
[RIP] Swami Vivekananda - "You cannot believe in god until you believe in yourself."
Phil Western IV, creative mind behind Download, PlatEAU, and multiple remix projects. He was also a co-founder of Subconscious Records.
Mars Rover Opportunity
NASA’s final wake-up call to Opportunity:
I don't know why Oppy's official death has choked me up so much yesterday and today, but I've literally been CRYING over this. Gahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! The poscards are killing me.
What an amazing journey. We will miss you, Oppy.
Meanwhile, we still have Curiosity!

Oh I've been crying too. I think it's because Oppy, Spirit and Curiosity represent the best of mankind. They are the proof that we are willing to look beyond our little selves, to search for something that is so much bigger than us. And also, they are showing our capacity to be amazed and humbled by what we are finding.
Some people build walls, other build dreams.
Back to my regular bawling. Thank you for the links!
Lies. Sweet, poetic lies.
Spoiler alert: article does not disclose the actual final communication. But alas, the "my battery is low" thing was made up by science reporter Jason Margolis.
Dude. Us NASA geeks actually know that. We know that there was never ANY literal communication from Oppy. The “last communication” was totally symbolic.
Try to keep up, okay?
(We all know it came from here but it symbolizes her final haunting sad demise, the final message she symbolically sent several months ago.)
Of course, then she asks:
“Will I dream?”
