NASA's Cassi-Huygens spacecraft is continuing its mission to explore Saturn and its moons despite being over a year past its expected operational life span. In a few days it will revisit and photograph the mysterious moon Titan.
On October 15, 1997 NASA launched the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft on a mission to explore Saturn and its family of moons, particularly Titan. It was the largest payload ever sent out to deep space, weighing almost six tons."

this seems an article more intent on pushing the Electric Universe than about Cassini. As has been publicized in these pages many times, though, a change in thought often occurs when it is least expected. When the time for change comes to pass, change is inevitable. The growing number of adherents to the Electric Universe conception of how the cosmos operates means that further changes to human thought are coming soon. what do you think about The Electric Universe Theory ?
