At least, it would be in the very unlikely event that the same code
exists in the spacecraft and controls something like when it operates
its rocket motor.


Whatever, the thing is sure giving us some great info on Titan, although
naming the sea "The Sea Of Krakens" is basing things way too much on a
pretty crappy movie (both versions - Jason And The Argonauts is a far
better movie and really captures the feel of Greek mythology very well)
as Krakens are part of Norse, not Greek, mythology. "Sea Of Hydras"
would have been a far better name.
