Hi,

Have you recently checked all the litterature speaking about the speed at
which Huygens plunged into Titan atmosphere.
Don't have you noted what I call another "mistake of style"... ?

If a spaceprobe makes a sonic boom in Titan's atmosphere and there's nobody
around to hear it, does it make a sound?

I'd say...you need to relax.

Mach 1 on Earth is 1000 feet/second.

When they were describing how fast this probe will be moving through Titan's
atmosphere, they were using a term so people would get the idea.

Let Titanides worry about how fast their sound is, so that when Titanide
children count the seconds from the lightning to the thunder, they know how
far away it is.....
