Am I the only one who looked at the title of the thread and thought a winger from the Italian 82 world cup side had died ? |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

You're becalmed just south of the Arctic circle,and the rigging shines with jewelled frost,the planks creak with a protesting sleepiness.The twinkling stars and steady planets come to greet you and shake your icy hand and ask how are you old friend you have left it far too long.They talk to you of starseeds and comet hair and the raptures of deep space and you reply with the voice of a lonely dugong or a lost whale.And as the wind freshens and billows the sails it feels like the stars playfully ruffle your hair in farewell and fall to the ocean in line astern. |  | | |

...and, I'm watching a show with a number of excitable astrophysicists (jaysus, I spelled that right on my first attempt!), beautiful pics, lovely story. Apparently Big Tone and the Board still have five billion years to relocate from Loftus Rd before it's all over. | |

Amazing pics and an amazing story...but why crash this wonderful pioneering craft into Saturn at the end? Seems a bit over the top.
Couldn't they have used the last bit of fuel to allow it to float serenely through deep space for evermore, as per Voyager?? I'm not a scientist, I guess... | | | |

It didn't have the fuel to escape Saturn's gravity and Encedalus had shown that there is the possibility of water-based life within that system. Fair enough to avoid contamination.
Edit: The thought of Voyagers I and II serenely passing though space is delightful. I saw a prog about Voyagers talking to the people who did the language greetings on the gold disc, asking them about how they felt that their voices could live for perhaps a billion years or more...
