Perhaps now would be a good time to start a new thread on the Extended-Extended Mission.

AWESOMNESS PLUS!!!!!!

Will Titan’s northern lakes start to evaporate? What methane storms accompany the seasonal changes? (Titan is my favorite… yes she is)!

No, WAIT... more Enceladus plume tasting!!!!! (Enceladus is my favorite.... yes she is)!

No, WAIT ... CLOSE IN passes between the rings and Saturn... (Saturn is my favorite .... yes she is)!

No WAIT... ring spokes evolution over time!!! (Rings.... favorite.... )!

No Wait ...
