After a ninety-day Mars mission that turned into an epic fifteen-year mission, NASA's Opportunity rover has officially been declared dead after contact was lost last year when a dust storm blew over its position.

    Yes, that's how amazing Oppy was - fifteen years after its warranty expired, it still took a dust-storm the size of a gorram planet to kill it.

    What is 'Opportunity' in Klingonese?​​

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    That's too short for the game's filter isn't it?

    This is correct. Klingonska.org is a good resource for these, BTW.

    And in Romulan, it's taicir.

    Pretty sure you can use three-character names. Give it a try, I suppose.

    I'll give it a go. I was thinking of using it for my K't'inga as it's a ship that's just kept going for close to two centuries.

    Thanks for the translation anyway.

    It will be put in a museum or fixed when we finally colonize Mars since it is the greatest Martian explorer and hopefully before 2119.
