This just out. Not earth-shattering, but colorful - maybe handy as an up-to-date
Titan intro

Hmm. So nice of you all to speak in such glowing terms about the content as a
whole rather than getting hung up on a typo........
Note to self - stop posting to UMSF, just causes grief.

The ISS mistranslation did not originate with me - I just checked my manuscript -
must have got introduced in typesetting. But I should have caught it at the
proofing stage.

Great article, thanks for sharing it here. In advocating further exploration of Titan after Cassini I almost dare to believe you will be pushing on an open door. This world is the perfect challenge for 21st century science. Yes, big spending will be required, but it will be science that ordinary people can relate to (unlike string theory or 'dark energy'). Mars is our new Wild West, Titan our new Antarctica. Exciting times.

No No ! The lesson is quite otherwise. Post here before publication and take advantage of the free nit-picking service. smile.gif

Interesting idea. Though if you post here, why bother publishing anyway....?

Someone at AGU suggested getting T-shirts made

I'm not sure - Thinking about the atmosphere as a fraction of planetary mass I think Earth and Venus would claim places one and two there.

How about "Mars - the second most Moon-like planet in the Solar System"?
