Ok, so I read an article on Space.com today and they are shutting it down the end of this month Jan/20. My question is this, since the article didn't address this. Does it still work? IF so, then why not RENT time on it to universities around the world? Like try to make some money off of it while you can? Let the people who have been operating it, operate it for universities. I'm sure there are astronomers in places that would gladly pay a fee to look into space with it. Even if you charge them only 'cost per hour' to operate it now? It is in space, you don't have to pay for a rocket to lift another one. It has to be better still than what some universities have access to, and use it until it fails. So short sighted imo.
- Hi I have questions about the system of the universe and the laws of thermodynamics . That space is within the universe . Question: Is there an area before the existence of the universe? second question : Where did this area come from? The third question : On the system of the universe in the laws of thermodynamics Is the system of the universe isolated, closed or open ??? Please send these three questions to cosmologists
Why are these NASA videos always with (almost) elderly people? And such a focus on how amazing it is, but done in such a (slow) old fashion way. Speed things up NASA.
@Qaz Qaz The problem is that they are slow with everything. And not just NASA for that matter. The Europeans are no different with ESA. How much does it cost to develop a new rocket? NASA and ESA: about 5 billion dollars Spacex: less than a billion. How many can you launch? NASA and ESA: not too many Spacex: one ever 2 weeks To be fair, now that spacex is focusing on putting people in space, they're not that fast anymore, but still faster than government run organizations. And still cheaper.
SpaceX have shown no inclination to create science observatories like Spitzer, so really that makes them infinitely slower than NASA or ESA. There are no examples of anyone doing it better.
A beautiful example of aerospace engineering done right.
Excellent engineering!! So very glad that it is still operating after all of these years. :-)
Go! Go! NASA & JPL!
I love the way Spitzer images complement most of my favorite Hubble images. Awesome investment.
Congrats! And thanks: my collection of space related images is invaluable because it contains many images made by Spitzer! *^_^*
Beautiful minds.Congratulations.
Wow what an amazing spacecraft! Keep up the great the great work!
Trappist-1 is just fascinating. It's so frustrating that we can't send probes fast enough to actually get there to take a closer look. :-(
Congratulations NASA.
Congratulations JPL
CONGRATULATIONS SPITZER.
Un saludo desde México...
Living science.
It's now February 2020, is it still going? Still being used?
Yes love this video!
Magnificent. Loved every podcast the Spitzer team put out.
We will accompany you till the end, SST!
Beautiful science. Incredible mission. A great Great Observatory.
NASA Spitzer space telescope is awesome 🇺🇸👑💕
Excelente trabajo, gracias saludos desde España Barcelona 😎
Goodbye, old friend
Must have secretly been made by Honda. Lasts forever, like their cars.

You obviously have access to a computer. You should use it to answer your questions.
If planet 9 did exist... this bad boy would/ should have found it.
😍😍
*_...does this mean NASA hires more scientists, or runs legacy science on shallower budgets..._*
As always, only images by computer...billions and billions of dollars thrown in the trash. shame

Because most of these elderly people started working on these projects decades ago. They are the work of their life time
@@cashkaval I'm not questioning the work they have done. I'm questioning NASA's maketing abilities.

most of the elderly are the ones who started the projects and or where on the original team for the crafts, so who better to have to talk about them
