i see so many people talking about the sadness of cassini, i believe it's because that probe represents the adventure and curiosity of the collective human mind, cassini really is an extension of mankind :)

[zakiducky]

I know Cassini wasn’t a living thing, but it’s kind of sad to think that it was being sent to it’s end and the computer was trying to figure out what was going on and save itself, without knowing it was intentional.

[TheZealo]

That description of Cassini plunging into Saturn was kind of emotional in a way. RIP Cassini, you brave thing. Well done.

[ethanthan]

This is why astronomy is so cool. Crazy to think that we humans have such detailed images of a planet about a billion kilometers away. Sometimes I picture aliens living in Saturn, looking up in the sky just seeing these beautiful rings

[AVR_Surge]

Hearing him say Cassini's computers were trying to figure out what was going on and how to stay upright while it burned up in the atmosphere makes me feel like Cassini was alive and trying to survive the plunge. Kind of sad if you think about it.

Shout out to the camera man who recording the final moment of cassini during it descend

[Isaacreeper]

How does Cassini's last moments have more character development and emotional moments than the majority of most movies nowadays.

[kycutecool]

Thank you, Cassini. We salute you..

(Yes, I know it's an inanimate object but I think it deserves that much recognition for all the learnings we got from it)

[subtleartofdisappointment]

I love how we’re all paying respects to Cassini and the guys who were apart of it. Makes me feel good that so many people appreciate these things.

[rooneyrythm]

"The remnants of Cassini's fuel was deployed by it's thrusters to keep Cassini's antennas aimed at earth."

Why did that sentence hit so hard?

[siltstrider]

Death himself "Time to go Cassini."
Cassini "Was i a good space satellite?"
Death "No....

You were one of the best"

[SHAdEheart]

Cassini’s last thoughts were the realization that something was very wrong! Does anyone else find that a bit heartbreaking?

[MercurialRed]

“That’ll do, Cassini, that’ll do...”🥺✨💫🌟

[jaymeselliot]

Cassini: *what is happening? I've done everything they've told me to do*

[thatroarboi]

Bruh i started to tear up when Cassini's computers were trying to figure out whats wrong, then inevitably burning up

[chandlercarr]

I nearly cried watching this. I can’t imagine the feeling of being on the team that made this possible.

[VariusMayhem]

A toast to the brave little soldier that was Cassini. A space probe that performed its mission in duty to the very end. One final salute to you, little one.

[popius]

Cassini: “Will I dream?” Mission control: “yeah, yeah, of course...now if you can just get those final pictures...”

[fraptor]

As Cassini increasingly struggled to right itself, both the probe and it’s creators came to accept what they had always known but never before reconciled - that its journey was a one way trip. Before its family and friends would ever hear the message, it had torn across an alien sky and even as it was ripped apart at the seams, fought with all its might - not to escape its fate - but to call home, one last time and with its final breath, say “goodbye.”

When I was a kid, the astronauts were the heroes we looked up to. Star Trek was on TV and the advertising was full of futuristic imagery. I am now finding myself feeling like that about these probes and the teams who build, launch, and monitor them. Great video. 🏆
