        They have Irish translators?


        Or they're attempting to get some Irish people carnally excited?

        Very strange developments at NASA indeed...

                  ESA Site informs "13.34 CET : Surface touchdown", so it's still landing, but getting very close to the surface. There will be another news briefing in 20 minutes on NASA TV.

                  After that.. at 16.14 (CET) First data is sent to Earth so sometime after that we might see some pictures.

                      Man, if there is one thing I hate about ESA briefings.. is that they never have anyone with fluent english to do the talking, aargh

                      I can understand that all the hotshots who've taken part in the mission want to be there and talk to the press.. but I cant understand half of what they are saying.. pronouncing english like its french/german. I miss NASA briefings.

                            What would we do if the first and only visual transmission was of a lifeform that looks like the alien from Alien storming towards the probe and grabbing it?

                                Aye, I bet in that case we would indeed see a sort of pyramid shape in the panorama images

                                But, seriously.. from what i've read.. all three parachutes did open succesfully and the heatshield was jettisoned without incident. They also know that some of the instruments did send data back to Cassini.
                                There probe touched down on the surfface couple of hours ago and I think it is still "alive" or at least was some moments ago, transmitting the "im alive" signal back to earth.

                                In less than 30 minutes, the Cassini will start relaying the main data packages back to Earth.
