Thanks for this, Peter. I am gobsmacked by the thought that they can still command this spacecraft when it is such a massive distance away. Reading this article does make one proud of human achievement. I can only imagine the sadness some NASA personnel must have felt as they witnessed the astonishingly successful Cassini's demise recently, considering it too had lasted for decades and they had to terminate it!
Cheers,
Richard
