      Looks like it might have been successful.

      Cool.

      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        So when the alien conquerers arrive, who've been signalled as to our bugeoning space abilities by Huygens landing on Titan, we'll have the euros to blame.

          Touchdown apparently confirmed 3PM GMT... apparently another hour for first data link (16:15 Euro time?).

          Been looking forward to this... I really, really would like it to be a success.

            I hope the pics will be good. After the continuing martian landers success I'm kinda spoiled.

              The Huygens probe has survived for more than 5 hours and has completed it's transmission to Cassini.

                    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                      I wonder when an alien space probe will arrive on our planet.

                        Does this mean that Titan is part of Euroland?

                              They've decoded the first data and there's a message that reads

                              "Earthmen, give us your womin"

                              Obviously this message is from a primitive race that can't spell. More to follow as the data is decoded.
