It was one year ago that the Mars rovers Opportunity was declared dead. HERE
A sad day.
But we now have a SPACE FORCE!
A different sort of opportunity was declared dead just the other day at the release of the Post Synodal (“walking together with Pachamama”) Exhortation

Father, obviously our Holy Father needed to put Rover to sleep until the Son of God directs man to someday land on Mars to expand his divine intervention .
It is not coincidence that we now have a Space Force.
Since the beginning of time, He has never let us down on His future for us.
Not sorry Father, keep telling his sheep to GO TO CONFESSION!
I need a Mars bar
acardnal: If yer goin’ to the store get me a Milky Way, thanks. And a Yoo-hoo.

And will those Space Academy students be called —
Space Cadets?
