What does @CassiniSaturn mean to me? It's more than an instrument for observations. It's a traveller, visiting another place, an alien world
Very few of us humans will ever leave Earth. But missions like @CassiniSaturn give us a taste of that freedom, & let us reach out & explore.
Far from being a lone wanderer, @CassiniSaturn carries with it labor & love of thousands of ppl, from @NASA, @esa, @ASI_spazio & just Earth.
We, humans, should be proud of what we've achieved w @CassiniSaturn, by placing value on science, & we should treasure the beauty it's found
The end of @CassiniSaturn is sad because it closes one door to new adventures, new vistas & discoveries. But we will open new ones, in time.
I watch @CassiniSaturn's #GrandFinale with loss, but also hope, that our species will always continue to reach out, & to want to know more.
Nothing in nature says we have to build spacecraft. But we are a curious species, and with that curiosity, we accomplish incredible things.
