haha maybe its just cuz I'm old but I don't think I believe a word of this. I'm trying to get a well drilled on my property up north and they can't tell me where the water is. And NASA is saying they found an ocean underground on a moon of Saturn? baaaaaahaahaa. Sounds kind of far fetched to me. Send us more money so we can continue to bull shit you. LOL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini%E2%80%93Huygens

I'm playing devils advocate here and asking basic questions. How far is Saturn? How long would it take for a transmission to reach earth if it traveled at the speed of sound? And does NASA, (whose main goal now is relations with Islam) have a telephone cord that long or is there a cell tower on Mars?
How does it communicate with earth?

LOL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini%E2%80%93HuygensThose guys know how to pilot spacecraft so well they landed them on the moon's surface. I think they could have figured out how to fly a computer out into space and wait for Saturn to fly around to meet it. The crazy amount of money they USED TO get is exactly why they were able to do that. Hiring and paying the smartest people in the world (each of whom are 500K in debt from their 10 years of college), launching spacecraft and flying them halfway across the solar system actually is expensive. You're right, NASA could be the biggest hoax in the history of the world, but I really doubt it.

And does NASA, (whose main goal now is relations with Islam) have a telephone cord that long or is there a cell tower on Mars? How does it communicate with earth? Radio waves travel at the speed of light (roughly 375,000 times the speed of sound). They can travel from the Earth to Saturn in 30-35 minutes, depending on the time of year. They go from the earth to the sun in about 8 minutes. I have no idea what you're talking about with Islam, but yeah, the spacecraft has a radio transmitter, which is basically a radio tower in space. It's that simple. Any kind of information can be sent over radio signals, even photographs. All the satellite has to do is transmit that information in every direction, and in thirty minutes, it will be recieved on earth by whoever is listening. If it were broadcast at just the right frequency, you could even hear disturbance on your car radio! It's not though. Ever. If any interstellar coms were broadcast at 70-110 million vibrations per second (the dial), then you wouldn't here anything but static (or perhaps even the transmission itself, it were vocals)

And to tell me they found an ocean under ground on one of its moons? Throws a red bull shit flag for me.

I brought up the moon because landing on the moon is much more difficult than flying into the orbit of Titan and taking pictures. Human lives were also at stake, which means they were very confident. If Cassini went wrong, all they lost was money and time. If you believe they landed on the moon, then they were definitely capable of flying a probe to saturn. More impressively, Voyager left our solar system! It went way out past Pluto, orbited it's moon Chiron, and is flying endlessly towards the Ort Cloud, which it will take hundreds of thousands of years to get to. We've landed operational cars on Mars, Venus, and Mercury that have taken clear pictures and videos of the surfaces. What makes Saturn or Titan any different? They're closer than Pluto and Chiron, and we have pictures!

Interesting read. I agree on the international cooeration thing. America can't afford to keep doing these missions.

Impressive. Kind of looks like the lower Sierras to me. Whats the building in the lower left? Looks like a fort of some kind. Camelot?
