The JPL just published a great documentary on my favorite probe, Cassini:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY-hQJ5pMd4
And if you watch through the first half, in the second part you'll be rewarded with a cover of "La donna è mobile" sung by Star Trek Voyager's holographic doctor (Robert Picardo) 😂

I'm in this hipster bakery cafe in Redondo Beach, wearing badass motorcycle gear, and the tears just won't stop... 🥹

Don't sweat it. My wife worked on Cassini years ago and it made us cry too. (I was the tissue wrangler.)
@codewiz @tsturm Hahaha that's so wonderful 🤩 ❤️
@codewiz @tsturm It also always makes me cry! 😮
Good to know I'm not the only weirdo who'd get emotional over a dead space probe 🥲
@codewiz @tsturm Oh trust me, you're not!❤️ Almost every good launch does it but also such great shorts from JPL holy smokes!
The first Falcon Heavy launch did the same with Starman oooohhhh Kinda the only thing that can make me cry
