“There are times in this world when things just line up
when everything is just about perfect.
A child’s laugh, a desert sunset and this morning.
It just couldn’t have been better,”
said Cassini spacecraft program manager Earl Maize
as the spacecraft tumbled out of control while plummeting
more than 76,000 mph into Saturn.
So glad you noted this event, kenne!
An amazing technical feat.
