According to the mission engineers, the spacecraft entered into EM about 36 hours prior to maneuvering towards the center of the Milky Way.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

Warp engines off line obviously.

If NASA wasn’t so worried about Muslims, Cli-amatey Changey and redistribution of wealth...they would have had some money to spend instead of cutting corners.

I don’t get how it can detect 5,000 planets and we can’t confirm one the size of earth is in our solar system.

maneuvering towards the center of the Milky Way

WHAT? Says the spacecraft is 75 million miles away. But the sun is 93 million miles away. That can't be the center of the Milky Way. I'm confused.

Not too good. Here’s hoping for a good resolution.

Not Houston. It’s Silicon Valley, CA we have a problem.

I hope they fix it. Even if it died today, they’ll be studying Kepler data for decades. The spacecraft has made lot of significant discoveries.

The most amazing thing to me is that we actually have a spacecraft 13 light minutes from Earth!

Then I recall how far out Voyager 1 is out: about 7 light DAYS! And it is still talking to us.

Just wow.

What does nasa care? It is not their money and this does not help Muslims feel good about themselves.

Since the spacecraft is 75 million miles away

I guess sending a mechanic to fix it is out of the question.......
