Anyone else out there fascinated about the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn's moon Titan? If you are interested go to. Here
Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the second largest in the Solar System (after Ganymede of Jupiter). It was discovered by Christiaan Huygens in 1655.
Titan's rotation period of about 16 days is synchronous to Saturn (meaning the same side always faces Saturn). It is the only moon in the Solar System known to have clouds and a thick, planet-like atmosphere.
I personally find this more fascinating than the Mars rover mission.(Titan looks more interesting) This took 7.5 years to reach Titan. Amazing how it could be done. It has gone where nothing has gone before.
There are pictures and sounds up. The terrain looks more interesting than mars, and similar to earth. Rivers and Oceans of methane, mountains. They said the spacecraft landed in "Sandy Like substance".
-180 C so thats cold but I wonder if they will ever plan a manned mission there in 70-100 years from now?
