Astronomy / Space Good bye Cassini

I'm with the OP, Cassini will keep transmitting as she makes her final dive into Saturn. The data will be awesome, and furthermore, Humanity has actually made a choice regarding aliens. A couple of Saturn's moons may contain life, but NASA will not contaminate that life by crashing Cassini into them, instead she will teach us about gas giants as she plummets to her doom. Without shooting lasers.

I think Cassini should have a memorial place in ED.
The end is near, final destination: Saturn.
Counting down.

I still remember hearing about Cassini's arrival back when I was in high school. Seeing those images it sent back was truly moving.

It's not over yet; Cassini's 'final mission' won't end until some time in September, but it'll be sad to see her go. Damn it, NASA, why must you break all your toys? (and yes, I know it's to prevent contamination to potential biospheres on Enceladus and Titan).
