Cassini is now on it’s way towards it’s grand and ultimately destructive finale! Using Saturn’s largest Moon titan to fling it into a polar orbit between Saturn’s ring and it’s outer atmosphere it will complete 22 weekly obits of Saturn before plunging into Saturn’s atmosphere on September 15th
My name is Simon I'm an engineer, creator, free thinker and occasionally writer. For far too long I had ideas and nowhere to put them for the world to see, that's why Planet Simon was created.
I'm an experimenter, explorer and fascinated by the world around me and the people in it. My exploration goes further than the known universe and expands out to universe's I've created in my mind and put onto the creative canvas.
I'm not the person I used to be and over time I have evolved and the blog is evolving with me. Whatever this blog is in the future it's a place where all are welcome and ideas can roam free to find their magical place in the universe.

I know technically Cassini is a collection of various parts put together to function at operators commands but I still can’t help thinking:
‘Awww. Poor, brave Cassini. I’ll miss you,’
I wonder if a few tears will be shed or stifled at NASA?
Agreed.
After all who knows really what does go through all those sophisticated devices put together into one? Sent out on a project and then given an order to terminate.
Makes one wonder?
