Default FWD: Titan Descent Data Movie with Bells and Whistles - Movie

....This is probably one of the best footage clips NASA and/or JPL has
ever released:

....It really *does* have bells -and- whistles, kids!

.... the last part of this movie - after the Huygens probe lands on Titan
surface - we see three vertical image slices.

Why does the left image slice (of the 3) - show an astronaut's foot print?

Acknowledgement of previous Moon, Venue and Mars landings?

The movie is fun, but I wish they would relase a more high resolution
version, as the one released has copy that is barely legible. I will
ask Jane Jones at JPL if they can do it.

If you read the barely legible copy, the Apollo image was put in to
give a sense of scale.

....They were being symbolic, and not implying that they'd found a
footprint on Titan. Apparently quite a few idiots, dolts and dip****s
made that conclusion, although I will give the Titan imaging team
their props for ignoring those twits and leaving the movie as-is.

....FYI, I've shown this to quite a few people over the past couple of
weeks, including former "Tool Time" lady Teri Weigel. They *ALL* loved
it, especially the CRUNCH :-)

....Oh, agreed wholeheartedly. A DVD version should be made available,
especially at a reasonable price.
