Holy crap NASA gets something right for once. Am I the only one totally amped about this?

Does that mean I'll have to shower more often now?

Yes.

Hey that's pretty cool! Now just think of how much other progress we could have made if the US wasn't spending SO MUCH GOD DAMNED MONEY IN IRAQ!

well, NASA would have gotten it right, but it wasn't NASA alone, it was the European Space Agency.

red cactus speaks the truth!

in other news, the ESA forgot to turn on one of the experiments during the descent.. making a group of researcher's 18 year project worthless...

Hrrmmm... well, I really like the NASA and blablabla, but the Huygens probe is European - the NASA just fired it into space as a part of a joint mission.
