I once was blind, but now I can see. RIP #Kepler
NASA’s Kepler telescope has run out of fuel and ended science operations, closing out a pioneering decade-long mission that showed planets are commonplace across our galaxy. https://spaceflightnow.com/2018/10/30/nasas-trailblazing-kepler-telescope-ends-planet-hunt/ …pic.twitter.com/wTXZnPvplg

Of course with the brilliant decisions of our leadership we don't have a shuttle to go service it. Now it's another piece of litter orbiting our planet.
-
It's not orbiting the Earth, so please tell me how the shuttle would be of use here.

Sad ending for an amazing mission. NASA's Kepler space telescope was a pioneer in its field. It's a shame that the U.S. does not have the capability to refuel/refurbish satellites that can still perform a useful mission.

No means to refuel? Where's a shuttle when you need one?
-
Kepler is orbiting the Sun, tens of millions of kilometers from Earth. Please tell me how a shuttle would be of any use here.
