First of all, they had to use a CCD camera/chip that would last the time it
took to get there, and the fact that the probe would only be in contact with
the mother probe for a short time before batterys failed, they used one that
was not at the same level as the mars ones. They where not even sure if the
lander would hit soil land or fall into an ocean which would have killed it
on sinking.
And don't blame NASA, the lander was from the EUSpace outfit, it was a
piggyback operation. I figure that the ones we got where a major score. Plus
with one data channel failing, the number of photos went down too.

So we are all just about bored with the stunning 3 or 4 Titan images out
of
some 300
that were released. Why are the low balling us again? What is it with
space imaging people anyway? This same **** goes on at JPL or NASA too.
Why don't they just give us more?
