Farewell Kepler. Welcome TESS
We’re now entering the final days for NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope. It’s running out of fuel and already crippled by the loss of its reaction wheels. In just a few months NASA will shut it down for good.
That is sad, but don’t worry, NASA’s next planet hunting spacecraft, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Telescope is on the launchpad and ready to fly to space to take over where Kepler left off.

Fraser: I even you not seeing 2001 since you were a child. That means you haven’t seen it as an adult yet. I would hold on to that for a while. If you like hard science fiction, it will set a new bar for you when you see it. Now you have something to look forward to that most of us don’t ;-)
Or a terrifying return to the nightmares of my childhood. :-)
Thanks Jim!
