NASA Ship Accidentally Goes Into Emergency Mode

NASA scientists are racing to repair one of its spacecrafts after it went into emergency mode in deep space.

The space agency said its Kepler spacecraft last week kicked into emergency mode. Long-distance efforts on Earth to repair it from nearly 75 million miles away have been slow, mission manager Charlie Sobeck said in a statement. “Even at the speed of light, it takes 13 minutes for a signal to travel to the spacecraft and back,” Sobeck said.
