The Huygens probe

I completely forgot about this, but in an hour the Huygens probe will land on Titan, a moon of the planet Saturn. Reason is, they expect to find water, or ice anyway, on that planet. Although it’s too far away from the sun to receive enough warmth from it directly, the gas planet Saturn could provide it with enough heat to host life.

Anyway, you may or may not know, but I used to love all this stuff (still do but not actively busy with it all). And hearing this on the news today, reminded me that you could send your own message, which would be put on a CD and sent with probe. Thousands of people, including Karsten and yours truly, typed in our message and in one hour it will be entering Titan’s atmosphere! :D

Anyway, if you want to check out the messages that are sent, go here. We were teenagers when we wrote ours, so don’t laugh ;)
