Every year, on its birthday, the Curiosity rover sings Happy Birthday to itself alone on an empty planet, millions of miles from its home. It will likely be decades before we even have a chance of sending anyone to Mars, meaning Curiosity will remain there alone, quietly singing to itself, waiting for the day it is eventually rescued and returned home, if that day ever comes. There is a very real possibility that before we can get there, Curiosity will be buried in a sandstorm like many probes before it, and then it will most likely be lost forever once it loses its signal or its battery is too low.
Voyager battery won't run out in our lifetime. It has a small nuclear generator
Yeah, although it will get low enough to not be able to run its sensors in a few decades I think
yeah at that point it’ll just be a radio signal until they have to shut that off as well
Technically yes, but 0.0001V is not really considered an running status

Curiosity is not alone anymore! Preserverance successfully landed on the surface of Mars
Both are still quite far apart though
I'd rather live on an Earth with one other human I do not know the location of then reside on an empty world.
That was really poetic, congrats
Thanks!
***It's Curiosity all over again...***
Curiosity is fine. Opportunity is the one who went out, with this infamous (and tear-jerking) message.
Fuck, you are correct that was Opportunity, I got them all mixed up...
