I like to think that in it's final moments Galileo whispered "Cassini still survives".

Galileo_into_Jupiter.html ( 1.74K )
Number of downloads: 274I deduct that during Galileo's descending into the atmosphere must have undergone the following events: cooler and even cooler until aproaching very low Kevin temperature...100, 50, 30 kevin, lots of thunderstorms that is 1,000 times larger than Earth, lots of lighting, strong winds of over 1,000 kmph, breathed a fresh amonia clouds, and was subjected by very great atmosphere pressure of over than 2,200 mbars. "It's not going to go on forever. Everything has to end. It's going to be a sad day though.” Andy Ingersoll Scientist Then, due to the good lessons from Galileo, we will be back in the future.

"That's no moon!"
-------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Ahh... I remember that afternoon. I was holding vigil, and got a little misty when "Fairwell Galileo" popped up on the web site.
We will never know the final words. But we can be assured that Galileo spent the final seconds bravely facing forward into the onrushing, moonlit cloud deck. It's computer was booted, and it's camera shutter was open. |

I thought the last thing it said was probably:

QUOTE (Holder of the Two Leashes @ Dec 14 2005, 10:21 AM) I like to think that in it's final moments Galileo whispered "Cassini still survives". And, oddly, at that exact moment, Cassini sent the message "Adams lives." -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
