*UPDATE 1*

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pa...assini/main/index.html

.....has a couple "animations" of the entry and landing on both water and land. Whats up with all the parachutes? Once it deploys from the shell when its in the atmosphere it has a parachute.. then it drops it and another one comes out. crazy

---------------------------------------------------------

I cant wait to see pictures from Titan. Isnt that the coolest fvckin thing ever?

 

[OutHouse]

me too.

but i wonder if NASA will censor the pictures and only release what they think the earthlings can handle.

 

[spaceman]

and you about to lose control and think you like it?
(oh yah)

 

[warcrow]

...in a few hours, we should be getting pictures. They're processing them right now.

I'm excited!!!

come on man has landed an object so far away from Earth, first Mars and now Titan

 

[warcrow]

The probe even has microphones installed on it, so that they can record sounds from the landing and hear aliens do the icky-shuffle.

Personally, I accept the presence of our new alien overloards. 😛


According to the magic talking box, nasa considers this to be the most important space mission in earth history.

This is the most distant landing on another body, so far. They believe the atmosphere to be much like primordial Earth. So they're hoping for glimpses and clues about Earth's past.

The probe did 4 planetary fly-bys to pickup speed. Venus-Earth-Venus-Jupiter. That *is* some crazy math!!

What I find amazing is that the solar system / universe is SO predictable that they can do things like that. They launched that sucker 8 years ago and were able to slingshot it around several planets and THEN insert it between two of saturns rings.!

Maybe the parachutes get torn up as they the craft decends?


Btw - this is truly historic and an amazing effort.
