Glad you enjoyed it, Walt. I've followed Cassini since launch. They
send out a weekly newsletter on Fridays telling what they are doing -
mostly in rather techie-talk but still interesting. For instance I've
learned that one of the fly-wheels used to help change the craft's
orientation (instead of reaction jets) is having bearing or sticking
problems similiar to a problem experienced on its way to Saturn
several years ago. It's totally useless information but it's fun to
know it, nevertheless.

You can sign up for the e-mail on JPL's Cassini site.
