Anyone up for a trip to Enceladus ?
Cassini has produced some truly outstanding science data. I remember the protests when it was launched, which could have put the whole mission in serious jeopardy. Thank goodness mass paranoia didn't win that battle !

I was reading about that the day before yesterday. Might have been in Astronomy magazine or New Scientist, not quite sure, but it was an interesting article.
Yes...protests about its nuclear power supply. Sometimes these fools who just like to hear themselves speak should just keep quiet and do some research for a change. They're usually the people who protest about every little thing that goes on and usually know nothing of the circumstances behind the events.
