*bump.
Those pictures were shite. What did they arm that thing with?
A cookie tin pinhole?

the battery life was just for a couple of hours.
thermical/chemical analisys were more important/viable for this mission, and raw data will be parsed in weeks to come.
mars sojourner had a solar panel for longer battery life, something that it's almost useless in Titan.

hahaha, mole...
I was seriously just thinking the same thing.
Why is that every freakin' camera on board these shittly little robo-space-fuckers has the weakest resolution? Don't tell me they didn't have the technology for better imagery 7 years ago either... how the hell did they shoot a 1-ton object in space to land on a moon near saturn and not have a half-way decent poloraid?
plbbthh... like K0na said.. I think it's someone's backyard.
I like how they're commenting that the decent image could show shore lines etc - or it could be a black and white close up of the craters on my ass. YOU CAN'T TELL SHIT w/those images.
weak... and fuck plato - just another douche-bag who talked to much and needed a fulltime job.

sorry... it's monday -
I thinks it's purty neat that we're now studying some moon way out in the middle of nowhere. ;)

unfittoprint - battery has nothing to do with it. I'm certain they could've used something better - even 7 years ago.
The surface shots of venus in the 70's were clearer. I'm really quite shocked with how poor they are.
Still glad it worked though.
