Well, matter technically can’t be destroyed. Even the “void” of a black hole has the remnants of whatever gets pulled in.

I have been wondering how cassini is video captured while plunging finally into Saturn. Who captured it.

I'm dying

This opens up the phylosophical question of whether we ourselves even know if things are intentional or not. If the universe is deterministic, then every decision has already been made, by the laws of physics and not us, just as one example. But to be practical, it of course is beneficial to believe we know things and to believe that we make decisions and to believe that we can differentiate between intentional and not intentional. But truly 100% knowing anything, is impossible.

Do you also feel bad for the computers inside smart bombs and tomahawk missiles? The computer wasn't trying to "figure" anything out nor was it trying to "save" itself. The computer inside was a collection of transistors that turn on and off in a predetermined way from a list of on off patterns called software. It wasn't even doing that. When a group of transistors that are arranged in a certain way get a certain electrical on or off pattern what comes out on the other side is a logical operation. They don't even know they are doing it. In fact they aren't "doing" anything. So the transistors then get more electrical inputs (patterns of +5 volts which represents a "1" or 0 Volts which represents "0") and then perform some other calculation based on the software. The computer does not even "see" 1s and 0s, only voltage levels across dumb and blind transisters. Computers are dumb and blind. Even though they do complex things like guide space craft, or auto land jetliners, or be a word processor, they do not know what it is they are doing. They are just blindly following the most basic instructions, without any idea what it all adds up to or what it means. all they "know" is put the value " 01101001" into memory location "1100010001" or read memory location "100010001011" into register A and subtract 10001100 from the value and store it into memory location "100100101". They have no idea that this is part of an algorithm that is controlling jet passenger plane, a spacecraft, or that they are blowing themselves up in a missile. I am a computer engineer and used to design the internals of processors. So dont feel bad lol.

The last message that it tried to send after losing control was surely "Was I a good probe?" 😢

@@GuRuGeorge03 Fate is only possible in a classical universe, Quantum Mechanics make the future probabilistic rather than deterministic.

Computer troubleshooting the problems while plummets into inescapable destruction, even though its a problem that cannot be solved, shows that electronics benefit from having only given task "in mind", to do their duties best they can until their last circuit bus fries. In this case, a space probe with emotions will be a failed experiment. Unless its a probe that's deeply fascinated with space.

You make the perfect AI sub

This was a nice tribute to Cassini.. but you should watch episode 8 of season 2 of Neil degrass Tyson's, Cosmos - Possible Worlds.. It's all about Cassini, and has an incredible montage set to the most perfect string instrument soundtrack.. hauntingly beautiful, sad, and yet somehow exactly right for the emotion of the show..

I also got an Exact same feeling

Don't think too much about it. It's programmed by Humans

it's strange, eerie, and perhaps a bit expected how similar our machines are to us: do everything you can to survive.

Maybe if they have good ships they can fly IN Saturn but it would be boring I guess because it is made of gas

The sadness of cassini is that they couldn't be assed to take a picture of the clouds up close. Wtf were they thinking. It is one of the most burning questions people have about space and it captures the imagination. I guess the imaginative people weren't on staff that day.

Martyrdom has always had a powerful effect on people. The ultimate self sacrifice. Humans respect those who give, and lose respect for those who express entitlement to being given to. Maybe because Cassini doesn't have emotions, it's being interpreted as it putting it's own emotions aside, to keep giving till the end, even giving it's "life" as it just keeps giving. Most people just want, just ask, just complain, just expect...very few people just give with complete stoism.

For most of its descent into Saturn, it WASN'T controlled by humans. It was completely autonomous. So in a way, it was alive.

Why cry? It's pointless. Think of all the data revovered.

​@@ancientdig1068 I didn't choose to cry - it was just a very emotional scene! It wasn't that I didn't agree with the decision to end the mission - it was just sad. And it seems by a lot of the comments in this thread that a lot of people were also affected, which made me feel less stupid for feeling sad that a machine 'died'.

@@carynwakelin2494 is it because it tried to save itself without knowing its real final mission?

@@ancientdig1068 No, it's just the way we put our human values on other things, like animals and machines - it was sad because it had done its job well and now was the time to die. I know it was a machine and it didnt know it was dying, but still emotional all the same.

Yeah, I was tremendously emotional in a bittersweet way when I watched in real time as this valiant little machine took the plunge into Saturn's atmosphere. Watching the image Start to suffer, than silence; then one last burst of information and it was gone. If a robot can be heroic, Cassini was superheroic.

Yeah... I did the same with Oppy!

I was / did :(

No. You just have a vivivivivivivivivivid imagination. :"D

Well, it did all that was asked, and more. It was a fine end after a great mission:)

I took my ship in Elite Dangerous to Saturn and parked myself above it when this was happening, in silent vigil for Cassini. I had been to JPL when it was the new thing and hadn't launched yet, so I wanted to be as close as I could for the end as well.

It seems to me that you're trying to make an objective statement about machines from the perspective of an "engineer", but when you say that the destruction of a machine is distinct from death you are making a philosophical argument; one I don't think you are a qualified authority on anymore so than Decarte or Plato.
