Yeah, she's been exploring so long, sending back new info on such different worlds, it's a weird feeling to think of her soon being gone...

@Freya

Can you imagine if we saw, in Cassini's last image, an unmistakeably artificial object -- an alien spacecraft, artifact, etc.?

What a feeling... and then the rush to get another mission together to get out there. . . and the long wait . . .
