nice art eh? but this isn't an image by Robo, this is a real natural image, snapped by Cassini. (btw it's clickable, and one click again from there will get you to a bigger version)
that's real. and it's out there. imagine seeing that with your own natural eyes one day, sounds like a pipedream outof a comic book doesn't it? but that day will eventually be just as real as the day is today

Cool.
I'll be visiting Saturn around 2050 or so. Looking forward to it.

Wow, thanks
And that image is amazing.
I've got a new idea for a piece. Keep an eye open on the PTMC Gallery
Edit: I'm also purchasing a mounting for my telescope this weekend that will let me take photos. Saturn already looks cool through my telescope but the camera will enchance it
Wait and see..

Roid, move that picture to your own server before a MD comes in here and bitches at you.

Tyranny, by "ship" I suppose you mean "without a ship or a space suit".
Heh, when I go in 2050 I probably will need the former, but not the latter.

We'll just build the worlds largest cannon and slap you in there in your birthday suit and send you on your way
I'm quite positive you probably won't survive the blast, or the atmosphere, or space but perhaps your debris might make it there someday
Atleast it would save us the hastle of posting 'STFU Mobius'

Do you guys ever get tired of posting that? It was old once, but now it's just downright stupid. Grow up.

Does look like Robo's work. I think there are congrats in order to Robo, then
Roid, what's your livejournal username?
