'So much of 'Good Night Oppy’s' energy is put into generating a sense of wonder that none materializes,' writes nschager
in the hope of discovering evidence of PH groundwater that might have once allowed for primitive life.
Oppy, as he’s oh-so-affectionately called, is a six-wheeled vehicle with a flat solar-paneled body that faces the sky, an arm that extends outward , and a long vertical neck with a horizontal head boasting camera lenses that look like eyes. It’s an amazing feat of engineering, althoughcares less about its fascinating construction and capabilities than about casting it in anthropomorphic terms as WALL-E by way of R2D2. Oppy has autonomous capabilities that make it clever.
Such efforts aren’t cute so much as cutesy, and transparent attempts to engender empathy for this collection of nuts and bolts. Squyres and his interviewed comrades naturally feel a bond with their pioneering achievement, but the strain with which White strives to create an analogous connection between viewers and his subject are too insistent to be successful.
