Too bad all they found was crappy Atmospheric Gases and Evaporite Deposits. :P

Taken from the NASA website on the project. (Which by the way is a hell of a lot better then then ESA's site.)
"The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency."
So ya'll are wrong. And as to why the Darn Italians have to have their own agency is beyond me.  I mean they have a European....Italy is part of Europe, oh nevermind.
And no they have found a bit more then gases and evaporite rocks (which isn't even correct since that assumes they 'were' past tense full of water, etc.). It's actually methane ice thay've found so far. New images and data are still being studied in the two hours the probe was active after touchdown even.
I payed close attention to this probe and it's side-activities since it was launched in '97 while on my Senior Year in High school in Melbourne, Florida. So I got to watch the launches first hand, even if I had little clue as to what the payloads were each time. (Thank god for Space Camp and Space Academy as a kid to get my interest going)

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong here...
The project is joint between NASA, ESA, and the italian space agency.. NASA did most of the work on the Cassini probe (which carried Huygens and communitcates with it) and ESA was mostly responsible for the Huygens probe that landed on Titan. I'm not sure what the Italians did.

Sounds like the named it, maybe that's enough to qualify for the 'partners'-list? :)

For crying out loued, do you people always have to bicker about something? ESA and NASA is pretty much cooperating about everything, and thats where we'll leave that discussion.
Thread cleaned up, please continue discussing the probe in a friendly manner instead of making a big fight out of everything.

You do know he was making a joke, right? Please I do hope you know that.

I've been following this little probe for many years as well. I must say, when I heard that pictures had successfully been transmitted, it brought a tear to my eye. With all the sad things that have gone on in the past year, and especially the month, this symbol of human cooperation and triumph gives me hope. Not to mention seeing a living world with flowing liquid and hearing the wind blow on an alien planet profoundly moves me.
One of the reasons I play EVE is for that Space experience. And here we have a real space encounter to experience.
Good work ESA/NASA ! Now let's get a few rovers on Titan!

Could some please check to see if the ESA scientists are still alive? Over three hundred pictures, and we only see ten :(.
More pictures.
