- In this stunning animation, watch NASA's Cassini spacecraft begin the last chapter of its 20-year mission to Saturn. Diving deeper into Saturn's rings than ever before, scientists hope that the data from Cassini's final orbits will help to improve our understanding of the giant ringed planet. The probe's last act will be to plunge itself into the planet's atmosphere, where it will burn up and become part of the planet itself.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the animators for this stunning animation to let us know what exactly happened.
You mean the cameraman
@@_-_-_-_-_-_--_ no.. it is an animation...
@@jay-arniebla3078 no, it was cameraman
It looks so real
@@incrediction1080 its animation how can a person go to jupiter to shoot that thing. Have some common sense 😂😂🤣. AND IF ITS A JOKE THAN IGNORE MY COMMENT.
"Fighting to keep its antennae pointing to earth" KILLED ME

big up to the cameraman risking his life to film this masterpiece

I think i got some brain damage after reading that
Cassini held her antennae at Earth for 21 seconds longer than we thought she could while plunging into Saturn. What a wonderful machine, gone but not forgotten!
Honestly I would be crying for these groundbreaking amazing machines before they've even been shipped onto the rocket just knowing that I'll never ever see it again but knowing it's going to be doing us a great service while it's out there in the cold dark reaches of space such as Voyager 1 which amazingly is still functioning and still talking to us
that means that our calculations just aren't accurate
@@uhhhidkkkk Yeah. It can never be accurate just because we have no experience. We've never thrown a probe into Saturn before so we don't even know what its insides actually look like. 21 seconds off was a pretty good guess IMO.
Cassini is a he. The name cassini was named after an italian mathematician Giovanni Domenico Cassini.
I can't help but feel sorry for it. The fact that it was sent off with knowledge of its inevitable demise is so sad, and the fact that it fought to stay pointed towards Earth as it was burning up in Saturn's atmosphere is even sadder.
“...as Cassini becomes part of the planet itself.”
Beautiful. But sad.
3:08
yeah very sad
Yeah
❤️🙃
True!! Very sad!! :(
Not great
Not terrible
It's interesting how my brain is feeling sad for a spacecraft
Wait until they take your car to the scrap yard
Me too
its worded to make you feel that way.
Try this: A device we sent to monitor Saturn had reached its end of life and in order to protect potential life on Saturn's moons, we burnt it up in Saturn's atmosphere.
Not so bad, is it?
Ever heard of the Cult Mechanicum ?
Same here 😭😭😭😭
when she said "Fighting to keep its antenna pointed at earth, as it transmits its farewell" Hit my heart harder then any before...
Did i nearly cry because a Machine?
Yes you did as did the rest of us
We all did
Cassini was many humans combined. Love and care went into making Cassini. Cassini has done so much for humanity. You just have to honor and respect the service
Yes. You nearly cried because a machine. Not because of one.
Cassini: "I will die giving you the best information you can get!"
I can get*
@@Grepes2 chill this is an emotional moment

"Fighting to keep its antenna pointed at Earth." It's so emotional.

Yea
This 4-minute video made us much more emotional than a 150-minute movie could possibly do.

@@sunsnows so? guys can get married
You've made us proud, Cassini. I watched the end and almost cried. You represented us there. We came to Earth as cavemen and now we are literally flying in space and also sent you there. This is an honour to us all.
Did I really cried because of the death of a machine?
Yes, I did.

Sounds a lot like the music from Sunshine.

The music is the only good thing about this video tbh
Music by Cristian Sandquist
Blade Runner.
Human beings are so fragile and small, we are greedy, jealous, and selfish, but at the same time we are so empathetic, and full of kindness. So that we have a sense of mission for the lonely journey of an inorganic little robot. One day, our footsteps will be where the pioneers reached, the Cassini, and you will always stand in the monument of human history.
😭
Yeah sadly.
Even now, in Feb 2021 I still get teary eyed watching this amazing feat our species did.
Yeah i always think of that, im excited about what they could do tomorrow

Democrats are not anri-war, did you already forget that Obama droned 7 countries during his tenture?
There are people argue poor people could have eaten the spacecraft, and we didn’t get any return on investment other than some cool pics. What do you say to that? (this is a neutral question)
look germans talking
What a time to be alive... too early to be able to explore distant worlds and the wonders of our universe. Too late to live in ignorance of the beauty and grandeur of it all. But now is when our dreams begin to take shape, and we first venture into the unknown of space.
I hope that many lifetimes from now people will look back at this as proof that when humans set their mind to something, we can achieve the impossible.

My fav spacecraft died when i was seven😭
Its because Cassini helped for our space and will soon be remembered. Thank you Cassini for you help
I saw cassini launch and i see it fall i saw voyager 2 and 1 10 years after it launch k saw new horizons with my niece and its still sad
Why does this make me tear up every single time?
Is it the music?
Is it the atmosphere (no pun intended) of the video?
Is it the magnificent words she is saying?
Is it the death of a machine?
Is it realizing the incredible, cool, fascinating feats humans are capable of?
Is it ALL of it?
Yes, yes it is.
They show us a machine performing a mission, they humanize it, that's why they say it's "fighting back the atmosphere to keep its antennas pointed at earth". You get emotional cause you see "SOMEONE" sacrificing till the last second for us. If you think about that, that's what makes you cry. That's an archetype story right there, in fact it bears similarity to jesus's story.
I could not have summed it better. It brings me to tears every time too.
Gets me every single time…
I can’t explain it either…
Cassini: "It's been an honor to serve you well, humans" *thumbs up as she disintegrate*
I don’t feel so good...
@@Razor7371. this guy

Josh's UA-cam Channel and that thing was worth over 3.2 billion dollars it's okay to cry about it that thing made the ultimate sacrifice it's undying loyalty and bravery since 1997 October 15th she may have went but she went with a bang and became one with Saturn forever remembered
Lana Fair me too 😅😅
Nerd
The way natgeo present it is pretty sad even its a probe made to do that in the end.
Hell yeah, an epic end to an epic mission! Cassini has delivered from day one and exceeded every expectation I had. This will be like like watching a hero fall. It makes me cry too..
3 years later, I remembered crying when the mission was over. It made me interested in space. Cassini you will be remembered as my favorite probe. We miss you. :(
We have come so far my fellow humans. From living in caves to now exploring the mysteries of space, we have really come a very long way. Respect to those brilliant scientist who made this possible and made us witness something extraordinary.

Hey just do not do the overdrama ok
The minute you realise that a non-living AI space craft tried to remain loyal to its master even after realising it has got order to indirectly self-distruct itself...
Good soldiers follow orders.
*self-destruct
Cause it's not a human
Well technically it will destroy any way but this way has more advantages because we get info and cassini doesn't harm any thing but it is aweosome
It’s running on code, not AI. It is kinda just like a programmable robot
when I look at Saturn through my telescope, Cassini smiles back at us :)

things u watch when ur supposed to be sleeping
yup watching this at 2:51 am

Heart warming speech, encour
Fighting to keep its antennae pointing to Earth as it transmits its farewell

Thats deep

Thank you for everything, Cassini. May you and Saturn become one.
TFI Creations WTF dude XD
they will never be one. Cassini will be destroyed in Saturn's atmosphere never touching Saturn's surface.
Bipin Khatiwada Saturn doesn't have a surface
it's just a strong hypothesis that is widely believed. But there is no solid proof that Saturn doesn't have a solid core. The core region of Saturn has never been directly observed. But based on the available theories and facts , it's believed to be composed of gasses only.
Bipin Khatiwada a solid core is different to a surface. Make sure to use correct terms.

I don’t know, I’m crying to. And we’re ment to watch this for school!!
This is very emotional!!!
Very thoughtful story narration about a spacecraft that had done a great job from its inception and until it's last minute.
the story, narrator's voice-over, graphics and the background score collectively made us very emotional.
huge respect to the people who had created and planned Cassini', it's course to Saturn and the people who made this amazing video.
Reading peoples comments who experienced love and sorrow for Cassini in this short video made me even more emotional thinking that I am not alone.
Cheers guys!

*Nope they DON'T!* They're just pieces of wiring, steel glass, Carbon fibre etc. That's why we build drones for example. They're expensive, but can afford to be destroyed. You can't compare those things to a human life/soul.
