the "looking ahead" for Rev 163 is now up http://www.ciclops.org/view/7112/Rev163?js=1
in addition to the Enceladus flybys, there will be interesting observations of the Phoebe ring, that IIRC were lost when Cassini safed in late-2010 (or was it 2009?)

I'm one of the most durable and fervent advocates of space exploration, but my take is that we could do it robotically at far less cost and far greater quantity and quality of results.
