Farewell Opportunity tells the story of Halley, who visits the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab and meets the Opportunity Mars rover. The two have something in common: a curious spirit and a shortened life expectancy. Halley and the NASA scientist in charge of the Mars mission find themselves transformed by an unlikely friendship-with each other, and with a rolling robot millions of miles away. With poetic language and magical realism, Farewell Opportunity explores the question "How do you keep on roving when you-or someone you love-faces a dust storm that threatens to block out the sun?"
