Historically and Scientifically Valuable Litter
| CLICK TO HEAR: * SOUNDS OF DECENT ONBOARD HUYGENS * RADAR ECHOES TO IMPACT |
Question: Are we really leaving our smashed up probe on the surface of Titan? Are we now traveling to distant moons to litter? I mean, I have to admit it is really cool and MacGyver-friendy litter, but still.
So if Titan DOES later turn out to be able to support something resembling human life, what do you suppose all of the early Titanites are going to think of this smashed up/
possibly-methane-logged-at-the-bottom-of-the-ocean thing? I mean granted they are going to have better things to worry about, like fission and all, but eventually there may be some life form that wants to know what in the heck that thing is.
I wonder how long it will last....what kind of fossil impression it will leave....what they will call it....what Titanites might think of "Lalala" and "Bald James Deans"???
Can they give us the info already??????????
I hate waiting.
