A very interesting program so far and an amazing feat of technology!

Fascinating

Good grief, not on here until 2330, too late for a school night .  I thought I'd be clever and watch it live on BBC i player on my laptop but that of course asks you to sign in , determines your location and then presents the local programme schedule - not happy    Last ditch hope - IPlayer through the Amazon fire stick - bingo we are in and watching - happy days    What a palaver, I feel like a Cassini mission controller!

Why am I not working for NASA?  These people have truly amazing jobs

23.15 in my neck of the woods ... thankfully, or I would have missed it.

Recorder set because it's almost clear here ? and I just might get out with a scope. ?

Truly remarkable. Sad that I can't imagine a mission that'll be as successful for so long in many of our lifetimes. but glad this one happened in my lifetime. Looking forward to the science that will continue to come out of the data, and such admiration for those involved.

What an amazing achievement. RIP - The Cassini Mission.... Now can't they turn the 'New Horizon' or the "voyagers" around!!

[Astro Imp]

Great programme about a fantastic mission. My only gripe I would like it to have been longer or perhaps a "two-parter"'

[Pete Presland]

Just watched it, what a superb programme. A wonderfully successful mission, capped by some truly stunning images. I have been in my current job 18 years 4 months, which would not be long enough to have seen the mission through!

I was fortunate to work on the Cassini imaging team for a short while years ago. I will miss that space craft. That job brought me to Colorado with its excellent skies, and rejuvenated my interest in astronomy. I just came in from a quick binocular session, taking in the Wild Duck cluster, Lagoon Neb, Trifid Neb, and several open clusters. 

And of course, I looked at Saturn and thought of Cassini.
