Houston, We've Hit Saturn.
It appears that we've successfully landed a probe on one of Saturn's moons. From the article:
"They hope all the data will survive transmission uncorrupted, said Bob Mitchell, program manager for the Cassini-Huygens mission at NASA."
Hmmm...they launched the thigns in 1997 - I just hope they had the foresight to include a checksum. ;)
So now that we've disturbed their eon-long slumber, I suppose we can expect aliens to descend upon the Earth and obliterate all of man-kind in the near future. But, hey, it's all "for posterity" so what the hell?

saturns moon titan is supposed to be the body in space that most resembles earth. they expect a volitol atmosphere made of methane, butane and wicked lightning storms, then a dense fog, then a permafrozen barren landscape, if the fog lifts enough to get images of the surface. sounds just like home to me!! we should rename it earth 2 instead of titan, as our own atmosphere is also a massive flammable cloud of death. thats why they picked that moon in particular to send a probe to. i would have sent it directly to saturn, as that would be much cooler. go nasa!!
