Wow a close call!

Wonder how much benzene and other polycyclics are now splatted on Cassini like bugs on the hood of a car?

Are you volunteering to get out there to clean off the windshield?

If you can arrange to get me there - I'll throw in a turtle wax for the whole bus bus for free, not just clean the windshield.

Top off the bi-prop, too?

Polish off the reaction wheels, and you have a deal

Anyways, always good to see Titan again. Hopefully, that storm over Aztlan will still be ongoing when we take a look at it again in a few days.

Nicely done !
