Is this piece, I wonder, from someone who doesn't really know a great deal about astronomy, do you reckon?

Despite protests around the world, the Cassini space probe—containing more deadly plutonium than had ever been used on a space device—was launched 20 years ago. And this past weekend—on Earth Day—the probe and its plutonium were sent crashing into Saturn.

I very much doubt that Saturn would notice, even if it had, which, I'm glad to see, it didn't. :unsure:
