will descend onto Saturn's moon Titan . This is a really incredible mission, NOT just because an 8 year trip happened to carry this probe as auxiliary payload, which was released a month ago and coasted (power off!) to the moon, but also because there was a reformatting of the firmware of the local (meaning on-titan) communications equipment to correct for a (fortunately found) bug. I hope I'll wake up and see the internet bustling with success stories, but even if something messes up it's already impressive. I think space exploration is one of the crowning achievements of man; it so clearly shows our desire for progress and solutions to the unknown. |

they're probably ignoring us. think about it: there are a countless number of places in the universe where life could have evolved billions of years before us. Holy shit what stage are they at now? |

hey epohs, did you see those touched up venus snapshots? Russian probes took crappy pictures and a computer scientist cleaned them up a few years back (it was on slashdot.. let me find them.. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i saw that. totally amazing. i wish i could read a history book written in the year 2100, to see what kind of awesome things we are going to find out. |

well, unfortunately the big changes are going to be on earth (not so much space), though I must admit all this noise about privatization of space (spurred by the x-prize, now bezos) REALLY took me by surprise. So this estimate of mine fortunately sounds wrong. yes, we live in interesting times. |
