    In reply to NASA Kills Ulysses Spacecraft After 18 years of Studying the Sun
    While it is said that "Its better to burn out than fade away", I dont agree, and hope it goes on a quest of deep space. Godspeed little Ulysses....

    @Curves: a powerless quest where it doesn't record nor transmit anything wouldn't exactly be useful whatsoever.

    @angelzero: While I am all about practicality, "useful" may be subjective here. Little Ulysses may go on to be an Ambassador for Earth, or maybe just space junk. While we may not be able to collect data from him now, who knows what the future holds. Some day, somewhere, he may turn up on Antiques Roadshow - the Mars Edition, and I bet he brings a pretty penny (or many bars of latinum) then!

    @ranwanimator: In space, no one can hear you steam.

    god...I know I'm anthropomorphizing, but I get all weepy when I think about how heroic all our little space probes are.

    @TendoMentis: It's not anthropomorphizing at all. Many of our ittle wittle space probes get just as weepy thinking about you and everyone else on Earth they miss sooooooooo much. :(
