NASA at Saturn: Cassini's Grand Finale
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The final chapter in a remarkable mission of exploration and discovery, Cassini's Grand Finale is in many ways like a brand new mission. Twenty-two times, NASA's Cassini spacecraft will dive through the unexplored space between Saturn and its rings. What we learn from these ultra-close passes over the planet could be some of the most exciting revelations ever returned by the long-lived spacecraft. This animated video tells the story of Cassini's final, daring assignment and looks back at what the mission has accomplished.
For more about the making of this video, including the science behind the imagery, see the feature at saturn.jpl.nas...
The Cassini mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. For more information about Cassini's Grand Finale, please visit saturn.jpl.nas...
In 1994, as one of my first assignments as a new engineer for the OFC Corporation, I was asked to work on the optics for Cassini. My partner and I worked on the coatings for the VIMS optics. In the fall of 1994, six optical sets passed QC and were hand-carried by JPL to Cincinnati Electronics for assembly in the VIMS unit. I still have one of the optics that failed QC and didn't make the flight. It's sitting here on my desk right now.
Working on Cassini was probably the most important contribution I ever made as an engineer. Just to think of it up there, orbiting Saturn, has been a daily inspiration to me.
Christopher Scarpino thank you for your contributions
This gave me goosebumps!
Mad props to you good sir.
Be proud!
I share your feelings. I helped design 3 sections of the transponder, for 6 years, at JPL. It's like watching a friend pass away. Definitely one of the best life-decisions I ever made was accepting that position at JPL.
wow, amazing...its a pleasure for us to hear that from you!
Wow. This is one awesome comment. Good for you, Sir.
This is sheer poetry: "Where methane rivers run, into a methane sea."
"Ruled by raging storms and delicate harmonies of gravity."
not really raging storms, although that''s true it would be better for jupiter. maybe something more calm
Eucalyptus
Compare it to Earth's ones and you've got a raging storm.
This, to give a sense of wonder to the already known is a gift few posses.
Brave little spacecraft.
**wipes away a tear**
Awesome.
:(
ikr I thought I was the only one who felt emotion about this
they should bring it back home it has history,but they cant.
yep...
"As cassini becomes the part of the planet itself ". The line touched my heart ❤❤❤
@@surajpratap4204 truly
I don't know why, but the line "On the final orbit, Cassini will plunge into Saturn, fighting to keep it's antenna pointed at Earth" gets me sad. Almost like it's trying as hard it can to make us proud one last time
And it has. RIP Cassini. 1997-2017
Through its 20-year mission, Cassini never failed us. Until the very end.
Excuse me there are ninjas cutting onions nearby...
STAHP
Absolutely same feeling.
Mike Lipani yeahh I cried on that line too! I was thinking couldn't they just re-fuel Cassini?
Even now I can't understand why I almost cry every time I watch this video
Coolskeleton 95 cuz the filming was beautiful
Oh good, I'm not the only one.
You're not real, man!
RIGHT there with you!
It's because we're all in it, our entire history has wound up to this point and it is going to "die". Mundane things that happen down here on earth are often so random, motivated by negative things and tainted paths. This is just pure and beautiful ...and coming to an end.
I cried a little at the end.
Godspeed you brave robot, solitary space explorer, font of knowledge, the tip of humanity's shallow reach.
Damn right sir and i didn't just a little.
Forrest Prather and I'm still looking for a tissue....what a tribute for a great great explorer
You aren't the only one. I cried a bit as well.
me too
A little? I cried a lot. Cassini has been one of my favourite spacecraft. Godspeed indeed
This video actually won a 2018 Emmy Award! It is THAT good.
Really?
@@carolinagoldgirl8706 As a matter of fact, yes. NASA was nominated for, and won the Emmy for this video.

Totally deserved it
Really

This is the best video FX I've ever seen by NASA. Amazing. I'm crying. :')
Except for the Moon Landing. haha lol.
Barış Tekin agreed :')
Barış Tekin Clearly!
Cassini deserves nothing less than the absolute best
unfl4tt3r3rd no one EVER stepped on the moon
My parents almost named me Cassini. I was born the same day it was launched, and only miles away from the launch sight 😊
cheers katie!
Caitlyn Guenther-Smith You just gave me an idea. will name my baby Cassini
you surely can be proud of it and also you can name yourself Cassini whenever you want)
Caitlyn Cassini Guenther-Smith 🌻✌
That's actually a cool name
Dear NASA JPL - Who created this video? PLEASE have them do all your space videos. The graphics and rendering qualities are in a different level. Best I've seen from you yet!
I'd bet good money that is made be Erik Wernquist. vimeo.com/erikwernquist
You can see some of the CGI assets reused from his Wanderers film. He also did a really awesome promo film for New Horizons a couple years back.
oh yeah I loved his New Horizons vid.
I think it might actually be the same music as the New Horizons video - it certainly has many similar shots and angles. IMHO it has Wernquist's fingerprints all over it.
OMG I've seen that New Horizons video because it was featured on Vimeo's Staff pick! You're so right, I can see the similarities! NASA, hire him as your visual director! ;)
You are correct, he has this video posted on his Vimeo channel.
Cassini’s last message:
I know now why you cry, but that’s something I can never do. Goodbye.
Thumbs up
Terminator: judgment day
If cassini has reflect a digital face in a monitor like an AI, was crying, but smilling as well...
And this message and mu think is probablj was the "face" of Cassini satelite, make me sad more... I'm crying now
What happened to Cassini
How did you get Cassini's final message to JPL
Wow, i never knew that a spacecraft can make me cry
Totally agree 😭
How about this: xkcd.com/695/
Alice Mary Muhleisen - Have you seen this version?

Bcoz wr are a human being with heart
Then you've clearly never read 17776
Less war, More space, that's what humanity needs.
This is one of the things I love about being human, we can give life to a piece of metal thought words and sound. I felt emotions and maybe even shed a tear at this. It's just a spacecraft crashing into a planet, but it becomes so much more. Great video! Wish it had a non-narration version just to enjoy the beautiful sights and great music.
It's just a spacecraft, but built by actual human beings who poured their hearts and souls into thousands of hours of engineering effort.

It's called the mute button...
@@spongebitchbobface at first I thought that but... music

Cassini: Was I a good spacecraft?
Death: No, I heard you were the best.
Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, New Horizons: Am I a joke to you?
@@inzane456 new horizons is probably the best among all..just a thought.
There's no word for achievements of Cassini
The first starship we build MUST be called Cassini.
Drat! Reading this made me shed tears.
*Do not go gentle into the good night. Rage. Rage against the dying of the light.* Wipes tear
Jude Lau Do not go gentle into that good night
Ha... *wipes tear and salutes Cassini*
Thank you Cassini, you'll be apart of human pride... I don't understand, why did I cried for a machine.
Because you see this in a single life ! Just in a single life ! And this is a great thing ! Like a Solar Eclipse ! You see this just in a single life ! After dead ............. is nothing else !
It’s fine that you cried it reached its end but did not end as a machine.......it ended as a warrior
Albi Teah Maulana music changes everything , also an outstanding work for those people making this video
You made me have feelings for a robot. Damnit, NASA!
Just reminding you that Curiosity sings Happy Birthday to itself once a year, alone on Mars.

*Arigatō
After a voyage of close to 20 years in space, Cassini spacecraft plunged into Saturn atmosphere by 10°N sooner than expected on 15th sep 2017 by 11h45 UT at a speed exceeding 112000 km/h or 31 km/s. The DSN network received its last scientific transmission of data store in memory at 11h46 UT. Due to the intense friction, Cassini broke apart and vaporized about 45 seconds after this final transmission. Farewell, Cassini.
I can't help but cry.
When you think about it, it's so beautiful. Setting out on a mission into a literal unknown world, doing your part to provide the home base with as much information as you can while withstanding brutal energy, rocks,etc for 20 years. Realizing your time is coming to an end but you keep your work as your priority....until the final moment.
I wonder how the engineers must feel? The scientists? I imagine it's like listening to the last words of a fallen comrade staring at the face of death, unwavering and telling you to stick with the mission and be safe.
I was there, at JPL with those scientists and engineers and you're exactly right.
Julie Webster, a Spacecraft Operations Team Manager for Cassini, called it a "perfect spacecraft" and it really was.
I'm sure tears were shed by many scientists and engineers, but I think comparing it to the death of a comrade is a bit extreme. Witnessing the death of a living human being who was personally there with you when both your lives were in danger is deeply traumatizing and can induce permanent emotional and psychological devastation. Many of these people need strong, lifelong support from family and professionals after having gone through such traumatizing experiences.
I don't think most scientists and engineers would describe the end of Cassini in the same way.
Me: These inanimate objects would never make me cry.
Cassini:
Feel for the scientists and the engineers who made this little probe. To them, it would be nothing short of their child, millions of kilometers away, unseen for twenty years, and taking hours to respond to the simplest of commands, yet it continues to make its parents proud, and delivering what is requested. The suspense and anxiety those mission controllers must have felt in the last twenty years have to result in some kind of emotion bond to that little computer. Imagine sending your daughter out into the unknown, facing countless dangers and always playing the odds, running on processors two decades old yet still functioning and transmitting massive amounts of data home, never giving up. The little probe has made hundreds of maneuvers, each one painstakingly planned and executed, each one biting into her fuel reserves, each one bringing her closer to her end. Imagine the programmers who gave her the knowledge to keep herself safe, the engineers who designed her to be our eyes and ears, and the flight controllers who worked nonstop for twenty years to keep their child safe. To some it will be their entire career, others their magnum opus, but for all of us Cassini is our trailblazer, for in her footsteps we must follow. We must continue to send our robotic creations into the abyss, so that someday we might go ourselves, wielding all the knowledge these brave children of ours have collected. Our descendants might never find Cassini after her cremation into Saturn, but they will go where Cassini has gone, see what Cassini has seen, and they will remember her and thank her for leading them there. Cassini might not be able to think as we humans do, or talk as we can, but she is more human than many of us will ever be, she embodies our spirit of courage, curiosity, fascination and exploration, embarking on a one way trip in the hopes that others will follow. Don't be afraid to shed a tear for our little girl, be afraid that we might let her down, and to squander her efforts. Next time you see a bright star in the low summer sky, glistening over the horizon, just know that Cassini is there, beckoning you to come visit her.
Mushopia Those lines are amazing
Mushopia woaah
Okay.....you too need to be narrating that video.
THAT WAS AWESOMEEEE!!!
ALL HAIL CASSINI
Beautifully said!
k
Became part of the planet it studied. How bitter sweet.
It's kinda sad.
What happened i’m confused i can’t understand????😢😳🤯
@@yusramzuri6338 Becuase of possible contamination of saturn's moons from possible microbes on the craft, (in case we leave it in the orbit and then it eventually collides with titan or enceladus where life seems quite possible), they decided to just launch it inside saturn making it burn up in the atmosphere, being part of saturn
You can't but feel an emotional connection to Cassini in its final moments.
Even though it's an inanimate object, the fact that it has a name, you automatically create an emotional attachment to it and makes you want it to succeed in whatever it was built to do. And that's why it's sad to see it be destroyed. Even if its mission was a success.
So, thank you Cassini!
Don't forget about the music...
nelmaven man I play Destiny and this for some reason makes me want to go to Saturn in Destiny
It’s crazy that we literally took pieces of our planet and gave it to a much bigger planet to have
Feels like a person dying not a probe.
Feels bad man
Hugh Janus Yeah I know the music and the dying probe
RIP
I agree, literally the night after hearing its news of it beginning its grand finale I cried for a good 15 minutes. Its funny how even if something isn't human we still attach feelings with it. Whether it be a robot, a car or a pet.
Feels like a hero is dying
Its like NASA watching their child plummet to it’s death
Cassini taught me a beautiful life lesson: Do your best, till you last!
Such a sad moment....
That final quote sure gave me goosebumps :3 Farewell Cassini, bro!
Berlin Child this would make a great movie!

Berlin Child ikr same
Rest In Peace Cassini! You will never be forgotten about you and your brave journey to Saturn.
1997-2017
Everybody shed tears for Cassini but no one cared about little guy Huygens. 😢
snicker doodles666 but Huygens didn’t burn up or run out of battery
Huygens mission only lasted for about an hour. while the carrier Cassini has explore Saturn, its ring and moons for 13 years
@@misosalmonfromthecheesecak3387 it survived till its batteries *FROZE*
Ergo it died
F for both!
They did their duty and fulfilled their destiny! They are heroes!
They are the true Optimus Prime (or other heroic Autobots)!
(don't cry anyone please)
Don’t worry about Huygens, he lives very happy on Titan’s surface :)
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the Cassini mission.
You're welcome.
You're Welcome
Thanks for the shout-out! we worked really hard on this mission!
PinkChucky15 wasn't hard. Just did some software graphic design bull shit. Tell the brainwashed mass its been done and they'll believe it; like a robot being told by its master when to sit and when to speak. "

Another two days left where Cassini got ended up and now it's 4th year of its grand finale got over. Miss u Cassini ( 2021 sep 15)
For almost 20 years you have been our eyes,
We traveled there with you, you've never been really alone in your long..long adventure.
Now a part of me will burn with you.
Thanks Cassini, thank you forever.
Woah... Did you make that up?
Yeah ... I love astronomy ... I love dreaming, I even write some books and sometimes something good comes out :-)
you gave me feels with that
Wow! If anyone isn't inspired by this video, then they are pretty much hopeless.
This gave me so much hope for the future.
Thinking about Europa and Titan, and the future missions to those moons that may later find the first known life outside of earth.
All of those future missions to Saturn will have the origins in the Cassini space probe.
13 years at Saturn...
Wow, Cassini-Huygens is the best thing in the history of Space Exploration.
And I feel that it's part of my life also, since the beginning waiting for the arrival, the Titan Landing, all the science that came, all the photos... One of the Humans Best Achievements.
don't for get voyager 1+2
Ieuan Symmonds V'ger wins.
People...its fake...it doesnt exist ....combustion and propulsion are both not possible in a vacuum....wake up folks
lol, STFU n00b, you can't even do basic maths, and you try to say something is fake, without knowing what to know, go read your stupid fairytales.
better get off the internet the lizards are coming for you, they know where you are now...oh wait, that's not possible because they couldn't use GPS as satellites wouldn't be possible LOL, you're safe
It’s been almost 2 years and I still cry every time I watch this.
Same. Tears run down my face and nothing else is like it- other than the movie Contact
Its 2020, and still making me shed a tear.
@Learn English - بالعربي No, it was completely unmanned
@@salomonarreguin3748 true
@Learn English - بالعربي конечно были, 100 человек полетело
Cassini was launched only about a month before I was born. It'll be sad to see it go.
Thanks to everyone who made this amazing mission possible.
Well, that sucks for me. :P
It ended on my birthday😳😔👌
Cassini arrived at Saturn one day after my birth
Same I was 96
Wow
I know what I'm going to say might sound lame, but, damn! I have tears in my eyes... Leaving this planet and joining another one, become part of it like said in the video, is such an amazingly fantastic thing that anyone who's in love with astronomy and its spiritual side would want to experience. This universe is such a tease!
Bye Cassini and thanks for all!
Прощай, Кассини, и спасибо за все!
😢
I could hardly hold my tears in the ending of the video. In the end of the splendid curve, with the gorgeous scenery of Saturn, Cassini marked the period by destructing itself into flakes, like a firework burning its entire energy, proudly showing the spirit of its life. Too beautiful, but too sad.
It made me think of the scene in Big Hero 6, where Hiro had no choice but to leave Baymax dying alone in the world inside the out-of-control machine.
Hiro left Baymax by telling Baymax that he was satisfied with his care, and JPL said goodbye to Cassini with some simple( probably complicated) code.
Baymax left Hiro with the priceless chip in the fist, while Cassini left the world with numerous precious photos of Saturn and its moons.
Couldn't help but imagine Cassini asking as it fights to stay together over Saturn, "Earth, Did I do good?"
You sure did, Cassini. You sure did ...
Robert Lewis 😢
Know exactly what you mean, started getting teary at this
was reminded of this:
xkcd.com/695/
sounds ridiculous as I type it but you start to feel proud of our robotic friends among the stars
elias heid plz tell me there's a sequel where opportunity comes in and rescues spirit and don't leave me hanging with that
Well...
There's a comic that features Opportunity, but it's neither a really sequel nor particularly light
here...

Protip: hover your mouse over the comic
That aside I really recommend the whole web-comic and the associated What-If
It's Nerd Heaven
elias heid oh well, worth a shot
That was the best-looking CGI I've ever seen of space.
Some of the images were actual pictures taken by Cassini
You should see Erik Wernquist's previous short film 'Wanderers' from 2014, ua-cam.com/video/YH3c1QZzRK4/v-deo.html.
'Producers at JPL worked with filmmaker Erik Wernquist"', see saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/news/3016/making-cassinis-grand-finale/
I will check these out, thank you.
NASA's New Horizons' short film is also epic
Oh cool, I'm a fan of Wernquist's work.
This background music is so epic! I wish I could hear it without the narration.
Yeah where is it from??
Every Star Trek episode ever made?
FREQQLES what ?
I think Cristian Sandquist is the composer
I can't find it bro!
I’m in tears like Cassini was a human being! I ❤️Cassini ✊🏽😫
Cassini was a human being.
Why you make me cry? 😭
Space does that alot
MuddyWisconsin because its space dammit ;-; its space!!!
I cry too
I watched it by myself and I cried. Then showed it to the family and they cried too. Every time I watch it, i can't help but have teary eyes, even if I watch it again right away.
I think the emotional reaction is to the following:
- the loss of an very expensive technological resource and that so many hours/lives are invested in the project.
- anthropomorphic value assigned to the device by the service provided to humans.
- the probe itself has a warm name associated with an historic figure.
- a rousing score, strings and brass playing long notes in the lower register, the changes of key are beautiful accents.
- a warm and comforting female voice.
- the spacecraft is called brave and described as a fighter until the last second to provide a farewell pointing its antenna to earth.
- and then the ultimate sacrifice on the planet that studied and to save the ecosystem of the adjacent moons.
Whatever it is, this video is very important enjoyable.
stop, you made me cry
Damn, that was more touching than most of the current Hollywood dramas.
I'm almost on the verge of tears ;-; even though it's served its purpose and destroying it is the logical thing to do to prevent contamination of the moons and rings, it's sad knowing such an incredible piece of human accomplishment will be nothing more but vapour in saturn a few months from now.
Pity the flat earthers are defiling this video.. what do they expect? that NASA would send up another probe just to film Cassini's deorbit?
true
I am crying and I don't know why lol
I was just three months old when Cassini arrived Saturn...
But Cassini is still in orbit around my heart.
If this video doesn't make you drop a single tear - you're not a true astronomy lover
Steve-N I didn't cry.... I'm sad though, I rarely cry for anything
I'm smiling and trying to not tear up. Seeing the spacecraft fight to point at Earth was so sad... and it wasn't even a human. But we as a species made it... it was truly an amazing experience I've never really had watching a video before.
i dont drop a single tear, im very very impressed ! O.O
No tears but I literally dropped my jaw instead...
Why? Its just a bunch of cgi. Not science.
Seriously this ending part made me cry, breathtaking video, farewell old friend, thanks for showing us how Saturn and its moons look like , Cassini is soon gonna b apart of Saturn.
It's worth noting that Cassini's grand finale will be going on at the same time as the Juno probe to Jupiter. Both probes will be in highly elliptical, surface-grazing orbits that will allow extremely close comparisons of the magnetic and gravitational fields of both planets at the same time. This will let us get all sorts of extremely important information about the interior structure and composition of these two planets.
Plus bitchin' shots of the rings from up close.
It's a job well done, until it's final breath. Sacrificing it's own life without asking anything in return, continuously transmitting information, making a big leap and breakthrough for the sake of mankind, what a selfless mission it is, I am moved in tears with you Cassini! Thank you!
And now his watch has ended
Cleganebowl confirmed
Long may she rest.
Who else rewatched this video like 10 times?
SR Productionz meeeeee
Me!
Wow. Never thought a probe could reduce me to tears...but here we are.
Thank you, Cassini, for your invaluable service to all of humanity.
When I feel down over this messed up world. I come here. This video reinstates my love for human achievement. Suddenly, I don't feel as down, I feel inspired, and compelled to do things I normally don't. You were more than a probe Cassini :') you will be remembered.
Go, go little satellite make us proud!
someone hug me im sad
I give you a hug
*gives hug*
Do not go gentle into that night my little brave probe
RubberDuckyCentral how do I love react on UA-cam
Cassini: Did I discover anything?
Humans: No you discovered everything
This video makes me cry every time I watch it. Cassini was the most amazing spacecraft. I still think about how the people who made this amazing object. Thanks, NASA! #Cassini #Saturn
I'm holding back tears... this video is so powerful.
InFeRnOsCoPeR never mind i just cried
Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light...
Old age should burn a rave at close of day, rage rage against the dying of the light.
PieBooty my favourite movie
Cassini also has emotions and thoughts just like Wall-E ....The last lines were so touching
Some great VFX production here to accompany such a mission story. I've actually screengrabbed a bunch of scenes to use as my desktop wallpaper at home and work. These look absolutely amazing on a 21:9 monitor, and it's really nice to see NASA/JPL uploaded the video in native cinematic aspect ratio, so viewers on such monitors have a full screen experience!
If, Cassini took a close up image of Saturn (The storms and the 'surface') of it before it plunges to its death, then....
Best thing evah!! :D
that would be an amazing picture
It's less than one month left now, so let's see what Cassini sends!

From 3:15 to 3:21.......... I never before saw any space animation as heartbreakingly beautiful as that ending.
Great video, thanks for 1440p.
so beautiful video, i'm glad to be following the Cassini mission since it started, i will miss her
im pretty truggered right now, some people in the comments are so fucking ignorant. 1. ofcourse its CGI, there is no external camera pointed at itself on cassini, its a waste of time and money to do that becuase of how its used. 2. cassini cant go anywhere else, it was designed with only enough fuel to get to saturn and make small rendezvous to change its orbit a little, its gotten to the point that it doesnt have enough fuel to go anywhere else, so to maximise that little bit of fuel they send it into the planet to get crash data, upper atmosphere data, and things like that, leaving it sitting in orbit to just slowly become nonfunctional would be a waste, sending it crashing into the planet sends tons and tons of useful information. 3. they arent waisting moneh here, the billions spent in this program has sent back info that has helped us make machines improve our daily live, and extending the amount of time we can live on this rock, we have less time than we think and we need to be gathering more and more info so that we might be able to get the hell off it and go to a new home when the time comes. please understand that what nasa is doing is extemely impirtant, yet they are under funded and can barely run themselves any more because of budget cuts by obama. our future is at stake, we should be doing everything we can to secure a better future
Bryan Southard hmmm yes just when I thought all the NASA pics being beamed back to earth were brilliantly true and the videos of NASA from earth to space to iss to moon landings and planets appeared on youtube. NASA sorry we can't trust you anymore every picture and every video you sent us from space of all your so called satellite images and Hubble telescope images from millions of miles away...( light years) when the sun and moon and stars are all local and the globe model earth has all been fabricated. Your van Allen belt that we can't get past has now turned into a firmament (Check out Hillary Clinton firmament speech) that we will never be able to pass through... thus proving everything you have ever told us is a staged Hollywood production made using our hard earned tax money for a set staged event soon to happen (google project blue beam fake alien invasion using holograms; CERN project sesame; CERN awake project) All working together to deceive us. NASA green screens and harnesses seen on the iss and fake pseudo science actors that have been hired and paid to lie to us all. The fake challenger deaths you staged. Very disappointed with you NASA I was your biggest fan ever you get an Oscar very well done!!

Dude chill. You're overreacting.
pe hgt this comment is so cancer I can't even read it without dying halfway through

You need to take a break from the Internet, dude.
No need to trash talk NASA like that ,a multi million dollar cooperation making astronomical advancements through interglobal investigation and trials of massive degrees.
NamrednE 125 Yeah right Mars rovers and Mars landings all filmed in Greenland. Moon landings iss all faked use of green screens and cgi fake Images. Huge advancements.
5,000th comment, better make it count. My goodness what a remarkable depiction of this decades long expedition and a extraordinary tribute to this robust precision spacecraft that was so painstakingly conceived, assembled and launched by passionate fellow engineers mere months after my high school graduation and operated in orbit of my second favorite planet in all our gorgeous solar system. This video was truly worthy of a Emmy award. Farewell beloved Cassini, you did humankind well. I am CRYING!
This made me very sad, but also very happy... it is such an amazement to know just how much data scientists have gotten, from one little probe. I'll be sad to see it go.... Only three days, 6 hours and 29 minutes left until it's nothing but stripped metal in the atmosphere of Saturn... I bid you farewell, Cassini! You've really done me proud!
Swagger Jagger // The King Of Cringe Couldn't have said it better myself. You have done do much for all of Humanity and expanding Scientific knowledge. We shall continue to build on all that you have taught us. You shall never be forgotten. Farewell Cassini.

I cried for Cassini
and you did too!
Saturn has always had a place in my heart, when I heard Cassini was being deorbited, I cried, for a piece of metal, I sound like a next level nerd don't I
No, you sound like someone who had their priorities incredibly organised :)
Ben J Honestly, the way this video was expressed words by words, it made those who do not know what cassini was, made them cry. (I include myself in there too)
Still crying, cassini is gone
Glad I'm not the only one, It is so hard not to anthropomorphize the spacecraft when you know that it has changed our world so much.
I did the same bro!
The camera man must of had a tough time filming this.
You are so smart..

@@epiclandlord9527 thats a joke ok
I remember the day that the Cassini launched. We had bought an angelfish, and named her Cassini. My 10 year old son told his teacher about the launch of Cassini to Saturn, and his teacher told him that there was no such thing, he was mistaken.
His teacher was (is?) an idiot.
I'm confused. Was the teacher saying Cassini didn't exist, or Saturn?
Christine OByrne Do they not have google in your kids school?
Hugo, Cassini was launched in 1997. Google didn't exist at that time.
There were other search engines though, such as Yahoo! The teacher was just uninformed. Which is pretty lame.
Goodbye Cassini! You did the best! You we're one of my favorite satellite. Bye Cassini! Thanks to everyone who has been part of Cassini's Mission. Like if you will miss Cassini :)
Amazing. You can see that this video was heavily inspired by "Wanderers", a self made project by Erik Wernquist.
I think he made it actually, was looking at his reel after you mentioned the Wanderers and saw this shot from Saturn we just saw here
look at this part in his reel

Thank you for everything Cassini, you will be missed forever ♥️🙏
Thank you very much for the all creators, designers and inspirers of this grandeur marvel. I love the USA and West and all advanced non-stoppable Mankind.
While I agree with that statement, this was a collaborative enterprise. That big white dish that transmitted every single bit of data was made in Italy. The Huygens probe was the creation of ESA. The US didn't do this alone. Humanity did this.
Scott Nebeker i agree, and NASA is made up of scientists from all around the world.
Andromeda but sadly Americunt think NASA is belong to USA 😂
this is what we should be focusing our minds not war and cash me out girl
Goodbye Cassini, you were loyal to your mission. you will never be forgotten, as you become one with saturn.!
Thank you Cassini for your beautiful views that you gave us. Goodbye Cassini
I like space? Yeah! Did I just cry over the to-be death of a robot I learned about five minute's ago? yeah.
Thank you, Cassini.. I will miss you!
So amazing that there are people out there making this happen. My question is how did this video gets over 400 dislikes?!?
Who else cried 😭
M-me 😿
Godspeed Cassini...
Godspeed
When Cassini arrived at Saturn 14 years ago my son almost daily asked, "How is the Cassini Robot doing? It she OK? I love Cassini"
My son's first crush - and she's going to die soon.
Greg Wiens your kid had a crush on a robot?Anyway Cassini is litteraly crushed by Saturn now
He was two years old and he loved her.
Greg Wiens aaahh cute.
callmesbo so frikin cute!
I think Cassini is male. Cassini was an Dutch astronomer who informed us about the rings of Saturn.
It is now 9/15/2018... one year later and Cassini still rewrites history books.
Cassini's Data is still Researched by JPL Scientists.
2:37 Goosebumps!
You’ll be remembered Cassini. 🥺
Poor Cassini...
O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
Gracias, Cassini.
Walt Whitman❤️
Hi
Why i have tears in my eyes, it just a robot.
This got me thinking, Maybe in the future we might develop feelings for advanced humanoid robots, fall in love with a robot :O
it's possible people have crushes on people on t.v they only ever saw on screen
R.I.P Cassini.. :( Today is the day that beautiful probe plunges into Saturn.. Pay F to pay respects.

WOw big props tp all people involved making this AMAZING animation, it looks so beautiful!
All these people saying, "Wow. Look at that CG. It's all fake," need to get a grip. I mean, c'mon, this video is demonstrating the events of what will happen. How can they get footage and images of something that's gonna happen 5-6 months from now? How are they supposed to get third person footage of Cassini, when there aren't other satellites with it. Like, use your brain, of course it's CG, but how does that take away from the thousands of images that exist of Saturn right now?
people like that makes me question humanity's future.
MarioOnage64 Those kinds of people make me question huamanity and how it even got here.
what's CG?
CGI also means computer generated images. Quite how they think those photos are CGI are beyond me. On another note, I pixel pick these photos and get quite aggravated when I find imperfections like chromatic aberrations.
They're like 25 years old discovering that santa isn't real and then trying to warn everyone about it.
