The craft that Huygens hitched a ride on, Cassini, is a NASA venture. Without Cassini, Huygens would still be looking for a ride. This is far from the first joint American-European space venture. It's doubtful it'll be the last.
I've always been fascinated with Titan. I wish the d@mned EUrocentrics would stop ruining the exciting discoveries if the mission with their attempts to create a rat race between the American and EUropean scientific communities. It's as shallow as we've come to expect from teh left.
Face it, Europe are our allies. We wouldn't be here had Europeans not come here and birthed us. Europeans do not ruin discoveries, they actually take part and lead many of them around the world.
And America also competes with the EU, she doesn't want any other nations having any power because she wants to be the only superpower. I don't understand why our proserity or theirs is dependent on other nations not being prosperous.
I have relatives in Europe and have a difficult time going along with this trend of trying turn her into an enemy.
