Well said Stu! I had the same thrill from Voyager and Galileo. And on top of that there is Ganymede and Callisto... forgive me folks, but there is something very intriguing to me about the sublimating seltzer surface of Callisto, and the tectonics on Ganymede...... and how the freak does Callisto have an ocean when it formed too cold to differentiate.?

We stand to learn do much...

I wonder if this board has a bi-modal age distribution? Those of us in our 50s who got hooked with Viking and Voyager and those in their 20s & 30s who got hooked with the recent wealth of missions.

I graduated from the womb in 1981 and it was the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune in 1989 that ignited my passion for Astronomy, with a particular focus on Apollo and exploration of the planets.

Incidentally, here is a clip of the BBC's live coverage of the re-entry of Apollo 13:
