Curiosity

So sad news today my friends, not about me or anything, so don't worry about that. No, but it's a dark day for science indeed.

Here's the story: I wake up about half an hour ago and turn on my computer, just like any other day. I sign on I attempt to load skype again (which has been having problems as of late) Following that I open Firefox and immediately go on Youtube, again, like any other day. First thing I do is load another Youtube tab, the first one is ALWAYS for music, so I need a second one to check up on my subscriptions.

There's a few new videos done here and there, mostly just Mindcrack stuff, but then I scroll down a bit and notice that SpaceRip, a Channel I follow specifically for the latest news in science, best channel on Youtube. SpaceRip doesn't upload too often so I prioritized their new video, I'm still debating if this was a good idea or not…

The video I opened is roughly 5 minutes or so long, and it's simply titled "Curiosity's Final Days on Mars" confused I watch while being a bit skeptical because Curiosity is kind of supposed to be on Mars for like the next 20 years or so.

…

…The video briefly describes that, sometime last night, Earths most advanced rover has been destroyed…
See, it turns out a Martian dust storm, and a big one at that, blew by and picked Curiosity up off the surface of the planet, not very high mind you, since the scientists built it to be able to withstand stuff like this, er well, stuff that's not as STRONG as this anyway. The rover was picked up and taken elsewhere, finally, after about 45 seconds of being airborne it's thrown several dozen metres further, finally landing and creating a small crater upon impact…They lost signal to Curiosity that moment…

Here's the video if you want to see it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJgMPD…
I think I'm going to go rethink my life a bit…
