So I was watching this show last night about how NASA was using that probe to take pictures of the surface of one of Saturn's moons. I was rather surprised that they were already up to sending a exploration probe to anywhere beyond Mars. Maybe sometime in this century they'll have taken surface photos of all the planets. I wonder if Pluto will be stripped of it's planet title again by the time they get to it.
This has led me to wonder about the possibility of sentient life out there. I'm guessing that we're not going to find any advanced civilizations due to the fact that our space probes haven't run into alien space probes. Maybe the aliens are still in the industrial era on Neptune or something. I would love to see a probe to Neptune sending back pictures of a Model T car. Even better, I'd want to see Ford try to make a case for copyright infringement against said invention.
Our supposed first contact is going to rock.
