we will get spectacular images of the clouds of Saturn.

This is one of the most exciting things I've read in a long, long time.

Since the flow of information from Cassini will end soon, what stage are you at in processing the data that you have already received? Is it all processed and ready for analysis, or is there still a backlog of information that y'all have downloaded but has yet to be deciphered?

Even though it's been over a decade since it landed, the Huygens probe was probably one of my favorite aspects of the Cassini mission. Since you often have to balance cost with potential scientific benefit, do you see a future for similar, one-off style probes like Huygens, or is there simply greater benefit in long-term orbiters like Cassini?

tsuto: I was at that Chris Thile solo show as well. It was really great of Chris to dedicate that show to Zak. After attending numerous NC/PB/Thile shows with Zak over the years, it was definitely difficult to attend that concert and the eventual NC reunion show at the Tabernacle. After the Tabernacle show, though, I talked to Chris, and he had a lot of great things to say about Zak.
