I tried to post a picture, but it doesn't show up here. I will try and post it in the picture section.

What's so special about a Saturn? Lot's of people buy them, they are good cars

I don't think Saturns are that great of a car. Have you ever seen one after a low speed accident. I have. It was totaled.

O.k. Angel, perhaps reliable and dependable would have been a better choice of words. I have not seen one in an accident yet.  I'll take your word for it. Still looking for the picture.

I will give this "adding picture" thing one more try ... I don't know why it isn't working for me.

Oh my gosh... the pictures are beautiful!!! Nice to take a minute and appreciate the small miracle of spaceflight and the great technology that shows us about our home planet's cousins. If you're interested, here's the link, I hope: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/index.cfm
Check out the planetary photojournal for more great photos.
And can you believe Saturn's got 31 (31!) moons??

I am a huge fan of the space program and I visit the NASA site on a regular basis. I am glad that you shared it with others Clovis. I wish more people to see the logic of continuing to explore, though I can hear the arguments about pricetag when they make sense too. It is a fine line between the pure intellectual reasons, practical applications and just plain old where do we get the money bugetary concerns. The pictures are indeed awesome.
