5. Roving To This Day

As your explore Starfield, you'll find a lot of carefully preserved memories of Old Earth carried across the galaxy. If you visit the planet Jemison, there's even a museum in New Atlantis full of memorabilia you can walk around. But it's a big galaxy, after all, and there are some famous heirlooms that the historians of New Atlantis have missed - including some iconic old devices from NASA explorations that have lasted into the 24th century.

Among other famous space-faring gear - which is mentioned later in this article - you can find a famous face on the surface of Mars.

If you visit Mars, there's obviously the colony of Cydonia to explore, but there's also a lot of rocky terrain surrounding the city; if you're willing to venture out into the chill environs of the Red Planet, you can discover an artefact that was lost even to NASA - the Opportunity Rover!

Still on the surface of Mars all these centuries later, the real Opportunity was lost in a massive dust storm around 2018, after which it entered hibernation. The fact that Starfield added this hidden detail for players to rediscover shows there's some true love behind the scenes for space exploration.
