Huh? Galileo's in a "tight orbit" around the core of Jupiter...

I know, I know... but there ought to be a law against re-using the names
of successful missions.

Sorry... that was a reply to a Jacques van Oene s.s.news article about
the European Galileo variant. I'd guess that the group is mod'ed with
follow-ups sent here, eh?

Uhh.. it would be quite tough job telling Europeans they can't
name a *navigation* satellite system after Galileo just because
somebody also used such a name for a deep space probe.

Especially since Galileo was a European. As was Cassini.

I didn't suggest it was anything but annoying that Galileo was being
"re-used". Annoyance at things European isn't an unusual condition in
most of the rest of the planet... :-)
