Good luck Cassini!

Mine too. I wonder if there are any other Human O-Rings of Saturn out
there.

Boy, am I ever waiting for those pictures as they passed through the
ring plane; this is going to be a Chesley Bonestell moment!
Kudos, Cassini team!

They've done it, too. Congratulations to all concerned. Here's hoping
Huygens is successful.

I don't think Cassini was taking any pictures during the burn; sounds like
they're playing back engineering data now. But we should get some good ring
pics tomorrow morning.

You're right. Only fields and particles and waves data were taken
*during* the burn. Only after the burn but before data playback was a
remote sensing sequence scheduled.
