The Death of Cassini
Early this morning, the world watched NASA's Cassini/Huygens space probe die as its orbit around the planet Saturn finally decayed and it plummeted into Saturn's atmosphere. The 13 year mission to explore and survey Saturn came this finale and NASA will continue record information about the planet all the way until the it can no longer maintain attitude control and signal is lost.
The probe trailblazed a number of firsts, including the first major examination of Saturn and its moons. Of particular interest was the first ever landing of a space probe on the surface of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. https://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/gran...st-status/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini–Huygens "IN THRUST WE TRUST" "We were conservative Jews and that meant we obeyed God's Commandments until His rules became a royal pain in the ass." - Joel Chastnoff, The 188th Crybaby Brigade |

The world is watching. As in, right now. Unless I'm less awake than I thought "E se non passa la tristezza con altri occhi la guarderò." |

T -13 minutes. And in fact it already has happened as it takes the last signals 79 minutes to get back to earth.

It's all fake. You *know* they just did it all with mock-ups in a garage in Burbank. The Earth is flat. Insufferable know-it-all.  God has a plan for us. Please stop screwing it up with your prayers.

Not to really derail this thread...but are all the planets flat? I read about Cassini yesterday, it is rather sad news but not really in a terrible way. But as if to knock me down, reality came around And without so much as a mere touch, cut me into little pieces |
