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.

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!

Me: These inanimate objects would never make me cry. Cassini:

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.

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.

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'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.

I remember back in 2004, when I started getting interested in astronomy, hearing about the MER landings, and staying on my computer all the time to get pictures from Spirit and Opportunity of the Red Planet. I remember the launch of New Horizons, the crashing of Galileo into Jupiter, and the landing of Phoenix at the polar caps of Mars. None of these meant as much to me as Cassini and its tag along, Huygens. Seeing Phoebe, Titan, the glistening if the Sun off lakes at the north pole of the moon, the passing through jets of water from Enceladus, and the shots of the rings - everything this spacecraft took a picture of was absolutely beautiful. When I heard they'd be plunging it into Saturn back in 2017, my heart sank. Watching this video brings those memories back. I hate it when the narrator says, "...fighting to keep its antenna pointed at Earth, as it transmits its farewell." This sojourner was a friend that gave me glimpses into some of the darkest parts of our solar system, shedding light on some of the most tantalizing mysteries of Saturn. Every time I see this, it's like watching a video of a friend from years ago, only to remember they're gone, now. We're never gonna have another Cassini, and I feel terrible for the people that didn't grow up with it. They missed out on a lot.

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.

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!

I come back to this video every few months. Literally nothing out there will bring tears to my eyes as consistently as this.

The day Cassini first launched happened to be my dad's 20th birthday. The day that Cassini will make its final plunge into Saturn's atmosphere...just so happens to be the day after my 20th b-day. It feels so strange thinking about it, even if it's nothing more than simple coincidence. It's almost surreal thinking about the fact that such an important milestone in space exploration has spanned two different generations, starting and ending on such important dates to my family. I can't speak for my dad on how much this means to him, but it certainly means a lot to me.

DataBase it happens that cassini's atmospheric entry happened a day after my birthday, it was so sad to me

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.

I actually teared up at the end of this video - this was so beautifully done.

I remember very well when Cassini was launched on the way to Saturn. Then I was at the first year of the faculty and we talked about it. Twenty years after Cassini's mission was over. Really a fantastic story, thanks NASA, ESA and ISA.

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!

Why you make me cry? 😭

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

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.

The ending gives me goosebumps everytime. Well done, Cassini. Well done.

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?

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.

Cassini, we will never forget you.Thank you so much for all of us.And I'm really tired.

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!

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.

Well done, Cassini. You went out in a true blaze of glory!

so beautiful video, i'm glad to be following the Cassini mission since it started, i will miss her

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.

The music is truly representative of life of a spacecraft, wish they’d actually post the music somewhere
