There is much more information as well over on the official site with images, videos and virtual tours.

Finally, a surprise video of Arthur C Clarke, here talking about the Cassini mission.
There is also mention of 2001 A Space Odyssey, for those of you who have studied the book with us or for those who are fans of the film.
Will the Cassini Mission discover anything else? Is it possible for some form of life to exist in space far from Earth? Maybe a primitive form of life might be found on one of these moons of Saturn? Or are conditions too inhospitable.
So what do you think? Let us know!
