After this months local Astronomy Club meet I have to agree with the
growing opinion that so far the most recent mission to Saturn is a big

different opinion. But I have to agree with those of you who say that if
all we are going to do is take pictures and snoop around poking into
frozen
prehistoric giant snow balls , hey not on my dime brother.
