These 17 and a half minutes were more inspiring, interesting, informative, emotional, well written and visually put together than the last 500 minutes of Hollywood I have seen. And they felt like time well spent, not wasted. Thanks Scott!

14:48 "Cassini has spent more than a decade at Jupiter" Whoopsie daisies, Scott!

I followed this wonderful probe since before the launch....every day I clicked on to it's progress....for years. This has been one of the epic missions of space. The degree of control from Earth was stunning, a tribute to the design team and all who played their part......and I shed a tear during those last moments. Huygens survives to prove to future space travellers it all really happened!

Technically, it's not re-entering Saturn, it's just entering.

Gummy Bugz think about it! Unless you were born in that room, you have to enter it before you’re able to leave it in the first place! Therefore you can only enter a room if you are going there for the first time, or were born in it, leave and come back!

If you turn Scott Manley upside down and have him re-enter the earths atmosphere, there would be no heat or any sort of energy, his head would make the air molecules go right around it.

I have a lot to say about this: 1. amazing that people in the 1700s were viewing these moons 2. It’s amazing that this spacecraft had the abilities that it does 3. It’s incredible the data that this thing has collected 4. The photos must be super satisfying for everyone involved 5. Our universe is phenominal 6. Imagine all the other things we don’t know that are in our universe 7. Our universe is super aesthetic. 8. Thank you for the great video!

RIP Cassini, you will always be loved, missed and fondly remembered :(. Then you realise that we're talking about a robotic probe. And anyway, every good space mission includes an explosion at some point!

Wonderful summary Scott. I must salute the Cassini team, many of whom have spent their entire careers in making this such a sccess. Ten years in the planning and building, seven years in travel time, thirteen around Saturn.

So... How many science points does earth get from this one satellite? I was hoping we would have enough to unlock Ion Propulsion

You've given a better public end-of-mission summary than NASA has managed to of the fantastic work put in by the Cassini team -- nice job! Let's hope that this mission is as inspirational for current generations as Voyager and others were for prior generations.

This is a wonderful synopsis of the Cassini-Huygens mission. Thanks so much Scott! It was an amazing mission with so many complex parts.

Fascinating stuff, Scott. Thank you doing doing these kinds of thing. Fly safe, homie.

Thank u Scott, Just amazing....

Well put together, great narration.

Man, I get goosebumps everytime I watch this video.

Awesome, as always

3:08 I've always been impressed by how clever and resourceful some of the engineers and astrophysicists can be when they come up with ways to benefit from scenarios that others would typically give up on.

This was an awesome video Scott... Thank you and stay lucky!

Fantastic video ... will be showing it to my kids as soon as possible... many thanks.

This is the video about Cassini I've always wanted to see. Well done.

Scott, this is my favourite of your videos. In fact I think this video is the best imo on KZread. Thank you so much for creating this. Many of my family are actually named after the moons of Saturn and I am sharing this amazing video with them. Thank you so much for your contribution and please if you can do continue. This was truly astounding.

We are some tiny ants in a slightly less tiny sandbox in a Universe that is so huge that we will never be able to understand it all. But thankfully some brilliant men give us the opportunity to sometimes discover little chunks of it. This is a wonderful thing. What a time to be alive.

Wow. What a fabulous mini documentary on this amazing mission. Thank you for putting this together. Great Educational Material.

Incredible images. Thank you for sharing this Scott.

What an incredible video that was Scott. Had me gripped to my seat from start to finish. That's the kind of informative doco I enjoy watching. Keep them coming.

Stunning! Goodbye Cassini and thanks for all the pictures!

cant overstate how much I appreciate your content

Fascinating. Excellent video Mr. Scott!

Why do I have teary eyes now... Amazing video Scott! Thanks :D

This has to the best video you have produced, very moving

That Ending was quite... Emotional... Felt like a funeral... Well done, Scott!

Thank you Cassini. You have supplied us with images that transcend words, data that unlocks the imagination and the awe to inspire another generation

This is definietely one of the best videos you have ever made. So many pictures I had never seen before. The video of the probe landing on titan literally gave me chills, so awesome.

Thank you, Scott. Beautiful work.

This is the kind of video that could easily inspire someone to go into astronomy or want to work for NASA on building the next outer solar system probe. Imagine what they could do with modern HD cameras and improved storage devices and radio protocols. Shame we're unlikely to get any funding for meaningful NASA activity during the next few years...

Europa is next on the outer system menu. The Europa Clipper mission (already funded) may well be expanded to include a lander. As for technology boosts, HD and natural color don't necessarily add to the science return. In reality, the high resolution camera on Curiosity (which is better than HD I believe--check for yourself) is useless for rover driving because its optical sensors traded spacial resolution to get a color response similar to that of a commercial camera. [There are also programmatic issues which make this data available too late to be used for the next sol's planning, as I recall.]

@kevingrozni

Yes, that is a good amount of funding. Enough to do pretty much anything the agency set its focus on. However, it's not enough to do *everything* that Congress and the administration are asking NASA to do. So some things, like SLS, just get stretched out from 4 yr programs to 10 year programs in order to make budget targets.

This is a magnificent video, and I really appreciate your hard work on this content (as do many other people)! Despite how you said that you were very broad in your commentary, it was nonetheless very informative and was presented in a way most people can follow. That is why I love sharing these videos with family members who don't have the same appreciation/enthusiasm for unmanned space exploration. Thanks a lot, and keep up the incredible work!

I think you did a wonderful job of explaining this. I learned a lot. You are a wonderful person who gives videos like this so we may live in the moment.

Amazing narration! Almost cried here, excellent job!

Thank you Scott, this was a beautiful send off for such a historic craft

Wow! What a stunningly beautiful video!

Thank you for your awesome summary of Cassini's wonderful mission.

Thank you for this video. Absolutely outstanding.

The sheer range of different kinds of observations done alone is amazing.

Seeing those moons forming is amazing, what an inspiring mission. Thanks Scott

This is a fantastic video, Scott. Thank you!

Well done, first class production.

man, all the knowledge and effort you put in this video is amazing! keep it up bro👍👍

So much I didn't know. I found the way this mission ended to be quite emotional. The Verge did a little piece on it with heavy music and I did tear up. Amazing mission and thanks for the time spent giving us all this super interesting information. I just want to know more now.

Fantastic!!!! All my thanks for these Contents!!!!

A beautiful dedication to this space probe!

Congratulations on the video. The Sérgio Sacani , “Space Today”, here in Brazil, asked you for the video. Beautiful, wonderful. Hugs for all of Brazil.
