    I am so excited about this mission! This and Europa! Oh man! I might need new space pants here, seriously! The only thing that would be cooler is a manned mission to Titan! But I don't think that's currently feasible.

    Also, has anyone made an Ethan Hawke joke yet? #saturn

    So when the native Titanians (Titanites?) see it, will the UFO be dismissed as a weather balloon? #saturn

    @Alasdair5000: Agreed.
    But its gonna take soooo long.
    A solid 19 years to be ready to send a balloon to another planet, damn that makes it seem like we're even further behind than I've hoped. sigh #saturn

    a balloon makes sense but am i the only one who finds it amusing that a rocket will deliver a device to a far off moon that was developed in the 1800s? #saturn

    Saturn's rings are actually very very thin anyway. About 3 stories high.

    Yup. They're that thin.

    As you sit and enjoy the view from your condo overlooking our beautiful methane lakes, spare a thought for other Titanians less fortunate than you.
    Did you know that some latitudes of our beautiful moon rarely see rainfall? That massive drought has left many struggling to survive?
    But there is something you can do! The Titanian Omnipresent Deity Believers Larva Fund urges you to consider sponsoring a larva, pod or small collective in a drought struck region.
    For Just $2.50 (Titan) a day, less than the cost of a cup of coffee you can make a moon's worth of difference to the nymphal offspring of Titanian's less fortunate than you! Please consider donating today.

    They're actually hiding in shame due to the name change of a cable tv channel that used its likeness as a logo.
