Показать описание
NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope found thousands of planets outside our solar system. Now that NASA has ended science operations, the spacecraft will remain forever in orbit around the Sun, periodically passing Earth but never coming closer than a million miles to our planet.

I hope that during one of those future flybys we will have the technology and will to gently pick up old Kepler and give it a better ending. A museum is probably the better option, but to me the bigger honor would be give it a major upgrade and send it away to explore one of the exoplanets that it discovered.

I hope you will still be able to operate Kepler time and again and collect data from it, or donate the craft and its operations to a university!
