Mermaid - just wanted to thank you for your post. You hit the nail on the head. I'm watching NASA TV live right now and Earl Maize, the program manager, has just been interviewed. It was clear he was close to tears while explaining how the mission would end, but was also so proud of what the mission had achieved. Having been in a similar position while talking publicly, I really understood how he was feeling.
So many people on this island are also feeling the same way having supported the mission for so many years.
About 30 minutes to go...
ETA: It's also weird writing this knowing Cassini has already vaporized, it's just that there's an eighty-minute delay between Cassini sending data and us receiving it.
