I'm surprised them NASA people got the right measurements inputed this time. Imagine the outcry if it had messed up like the Polar Lander on Mars, which was launched just a few months earlier Oh... alll right, I will admit it. We helped them get there safely. I had considered shooting them down but my people are a little more peaceful than I am so they decided to guide them to where they wanted to go and THEN get our guns ready - they are all pointing at the satellite right now. And no Wolf, I am NOT sunbathing... Sorry for the disappointment. LOL

The oldest trick in the book...lead the enemy by the nose to where you have the tactical advantage. I'm so proud... So, Wolf, does this mean the "image viewing" party you were talking about is cancelled?

Look what I've found...
Cassini Sees Lightning on Saturn
Aug 5, 2004 - In orbit around Saturn for more than a month now, the Cassini spacecraft has been sending back mountains of scientific data. It's now detected flashes of lightning, a new radiation belt, and a glow around Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The spacecraft's radio and plasma wave science instrument is detecting the lighting, which varies from day to day; a dramatically different situation from what the Voyagers found 20 years ago. The new radiation belt is just above Saturn's cloud tops and extends around the planet, yet the radiation particles are able to "jump over" the planet's rings.
Full story is here...http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/cassini_sees_lightning_saturn.html?582004

Wow very interesting indeed, I had no idea there was so much activity there. I'd love to see a storm on alien soil, with the exlusion of my own death of course.

So what the heck am I doing on Earth, roasting away in this heat? I should be heading back to my home planet - considering we have THAT kind of wonderful stormy weather there right now.

I may just stowaway on your ship Valderra. Oooh... that sounds like fun. I can give you a tour of the rings - once the storm lets up.

Hmmmm.... it´s all a matter of space. But I can dematerialise you Velaska and store your particles in a jam jar until we arrive on Saturn. Meanwhile, Myke and I can have a ball. tralalaaaa.... LOL ;D Oh.... and lift-off is in T-minus 12 hours...

That´s all right then. *dematerialises Velaska and puts her into a jam jar and beams Myke up to the love-sofa* ;D OK.... Myke, are you strapped into the couch? We are off now. The trip won´t take long - depends on how fast or slow you want to take it. *wink wink* LOL
