I wonder if we will get to see more of these close up?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

Those pictures are 'outstanding'.  I would love to see that in person!  Imagine traveling around Saturn or working on a space station with that outside the window.

I imagine though that space debris would be a concern.

And the measurements of wind velocities - "storms at Saturn's equator move east at speeds up to 450 meters per second (1,000 mph), which is 10 times the speed of Earth's jet streams and three times greater than the equatorial winds on Jupiter. Saturn is the windiest planet in the solar system, which is another mystery of the ringed giant."

The wind shears must be horrendous.
