Thread: Cassini has twenty minutes to live

Cool. Thought was going to be another farang suicide jumper thread.

Just hit atmosphere at 76,000MPH!

there was a nice documentary about it on ArteTV

Looking forward to the pics. Cool that this stuff is going on, tired of reading about the orange clown and his circus

79.3 minutes if you want to be pedantic

there is a nice documentary about the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 mission, what an amazing journey, and still working today

funny how it had nothing to do about sending a message to the universe, that was the NASA pitch message for the average American taxpayer, but it was actually a lot more

amazing mission,

Cassini's final picture.

So....what have WE learned from these projects?

Well Jeff, I never thought I'd say this, but I totally agree with your post, Cassini has sent some lovely photos/vids back, but what the hell has it discovered that so the tax paying people can profit from their adventures.

Jeez can think of a million better ways to spend nearly $4 billion dollars.

Cassini is Dead - Long Live Cassini

But how did Cassini get to it's end?

If you have 7 minutes and an interest in a decent doco then ...
