We are all getting spoiled. Remember how agonizingly slow it was waiting for Galileo images to get downloaded (at around 3 images per day)? Worse than that, during the first few orbits they were saved up until a press conference announcing the latest discoveries.
But at least you could eventually get to all of the images on the web, as opposed to the old days of Voyager where only a subset were published in magazines or books. So.... much as I really, really, really want to see the closeups of Enceladus, I guess I'll just have to wait another 24 hours or so. |
