More exciting will be the close-ups from Saturn due in next year July 1, 2004. At least I'm excited about it. We will finally get good closeups of the rings, and will be launching a miny probe to check out Titan. The Cassini spacecraft was launched on October 15, 1997. Mars is old news, this is something we haven't seen up close before.

The Cassini mission is going to rock.

All those enviroweenies tried to prevent its launch a few years ago, but the big payoff is only half a year away.

The Cassini mission will be a tremendous chapter in the exploration of space. I can't wait, counting down to July.
