uh... Huygen-Cassini was a co-operation between the ESA and NASA. Freakin sweet though, can you imagine setting foot on a distant planet like this? Even decked out in protective gear, it would be the most breathtaking experience of your life.

Of course, traveling for seven years to get there wouldn't be the most fun.

That's cool how this planet (or should I say moon) has liquid on it. not allot of planets have liquid, well I think it's the first one they find that has some. But as far as I know ethane is not potable.
Man, they can destroy that whole planet if their robot happends to be lacking oil in a joint and that it makes a spark. Ethane burns well!
