Journal Sloppy's Journal: Cassini 1
It's really 2004. 2004 was once a distant dream, but we're finally there, in a sense of it being more than just a number on a calendar: stuff is starting to really happen. Cassini is on the fringes of the Saturn system (though not really going into orbit for a few more weeks) and doing a close (2000 kilometers) flyby of one of the moons today.
[Update: Eh, there was a front page article on this, just a couple hours later. I should probably just delete this.]
Man.. (Score:2)
I remember thinking way back when that launched that it sucked to have to wait for it. Now, it's finally frickin' there.
Better catch some good pictures for all that waiting.
