Cassini Demise is Dumb !
Why not just let it orbit and be available
for future scientists, historians, public, etc. All that crap about contamination and pollution is just so much BS ! |

Even if out of fuel, it still could have been made to orbit
indefinitely, until some future technology was available to deal with it. |

So even if you leave it alone, it will still hit something, probably a moon, polluting it with live spores from earth. |

Multi body systems are only unstable if the multi interactions are
significant. Otherwise things go on indefinitely ( eg - Earth, Moon, Saturn, Saturn moons ). Cassini could have been put in a very stable orbit at an appropriate distance from Saturn, and then studied at a much later date. |

If it truly is out of fuel, it's going down anyway. No, not necessarily. Why ? So it's a bit self-gratifying for NASA to tell us that they are doing this noble deed of plunging it into the planet deliberately to save the moons from contamination. Contamination is ( of course ) total BS. ....But I guess they have to rationalize those billions of dollars every year, somehow.....especially after sending up a filthy satellite to begin with. Well the money could have been spent on something more appropriate, like totaly UN necessary wars in the middle east, or a ridiculous border wall. Any way you look at it, Cassini is an incredible feat of science and engineering ! |

They have to justify the billions of dollars they take from the taxpayers every year. Next you will be telling us that G.W. knew that 9/11 was about to happen, and just allowed it so that they would know where the security holes were that might allow terrorists to fly planes into buldings. And then they used that knowledge to make sure it doesn't happen in the future. IT WAS RESEARCH. That I am not stupid enough to swallow the fake news they pawn off to you with no problem, satisfies me to no end. |
