Indeed, Galileo did not understand everything; not many of us (YT included) do... But, do you really think that Copernican mathematics are used for maneuvering Cassini around Saturn and its moons?

Um, no. Neither were Galilean mathematics. Galileo made it point to belittle and insult his indulgent patron over about a matter which he clearly did not understand. Galileo was not a mathematical astronomer. I truly believe that without the Vatican trial, Galileo would be a minor figure in the history of science, inferior probably to Edmund Halley or even Robert Hook.
