A small summary for those who don't know:
The Cassini mission was a collaborative project between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) that aimed to study the planet Saturn and its many moons. Launched on October 15, 1997, Cassini entered orbit around Saturn on July 1, 2004, and became the first spacecraft to orbit the ringed planet.
Throughout its mission, which lasted until September 15, 2017, Cassini provided invaluable insights into Saturn's atmosphere, ring system, and magnetosphere. The spacecraft also conducted close flybys of several of Saturn's moons, including Titan and Enceladus. One of the most significant discoveries was the detection of liquid methane and ethane lakes on Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
In its final months, Cassini executed a series of daring maneuvers known as the "Grand Finale," diving between Saturn and its rings before ultimately entering the planet's atmosphere and disintegrating. This deliberate end to the mission was designed to prevent any possible contamination of Saturn's moons, particularly Enceladus and Titan, with Earth microorganisms carried by the spacecraft. Cassini's extensive data and stunning images have greatly advanced our understanding of Saturn and its diverse moons, leaving a lasting legacy in planetary exploration.
. I agree .... I don't know many people who like to eat off the same area they # on that's for sure

Well it is time that they talk to me because I will have a serious quarrel with them about why they let our governments make such a mess of our planet , and I will urge them to step in now before we destroy ourselves

I suggest that you return to a more provable concept that is far more apparent and takes little speculation because the data is apparent without any effort. Actually, Mars is the sought key because of the twin satellites of Phobos and Deimos show evidence that everyone either ignores or cannot conceptualize.
