Now that Trump has attacked Saturn with the Cassini bomb, how long do you think it will take Saturn to launch a counter attack? That planet is so much bigger than ours. How can we hope to defeat it?
I think the excuse for attacking Saturn is lame. The official reason for this act on interplanetary aggression is that the probe may contaminate one of Saturn's moons if it crashes into it. Since when do you sacrifice a whole plant to keep the moons from getting contaminated?

 

Lame excuse:

Cassini, NASA's 13-year Saturn mission, has ended - CNN

 

Bill,

When I first read the heading I thought you meant the car Saturn. I doubted that they'd strike back because they're so slow they can barely get out of their own way. GM might've done the brand a favor by discontinuing it.

Once I realized you meant the planet I realized that you might be on to something. I'm sure it's working together with Kim Jung Un to develop weapons that can reach the US mainland just for revenge for Cassini.

 

Excellent point, Rob. I never considered the interplanetary conspiracy angle.

I never trusted Saturn the Vehicle. Plastic body panels?? What's that about?

No word from Saturn yet. This makes me nervous!

 

I bet if you posted that on social media, before long some hipster group would take is seriously and start protesting. I think we should try this! Would be awesome to watch unemployed people out fighting this worthy cause in the streets ... holding up signs in one hand ... their latte's in the other .... this would be perfect entertainment.

 

 

I haven't read about "The Cassini Bomb" but if so, everyone knows that he didn't mean it, and we'll be safe in the future.

 

It was a fantastic crash. Really fantastic. Believe me. You are going to LOVE the NASA reports. Best one ever. WAAY better than anything done in the Obama administration.

 

You are treading on dangerous ground to kill the the thread.

 

Gee, I don't know, LB. Saturn V seemed to have plenty of get up and go. TO THE MOON, ALICE!
