Quote:NASA to blow up space probe in huge plan to ‘protect alien life’

'The US space agency is gearing up to explode its Cassini probe in a move that would end a
20-year mission costing $3.6 billion to explore the ringed planet.

The event – being dubbed the “Grand Finale” – will see the robot fly through the 1,500-mile gap
between the gas giant and its rings of space dust.
Its plunge will shed light on how Saturn formed in the earliest days of the Solar System.

Cassini was launched on September 15, 2017, to explore and collect data on Saturn’s many moons.
But because of this potential for Saturn’s to host aliens, NASA decided to crash Cassini into the
planet to avoid any contamination.

Curt Niebur, a Cassini program scientist at NASA, said: "The mission has been insanely, wildly,
beautifully successful, and it's coming to an end in about two weeks. "But Cassini will not go quietly."

The craft will turn into a huge fireball as the remainder of its nuclear fuel, plutonium-238, burns up.
NASA said in an earlier statement: "No other mission has ever explored this unique region.
What we learn from these final orbits will help to improve our understanding of how giant planets
–and planetary systems everywhere – form and evolve.

"After losing contact with Earth, the spacecraft will burn up like a meteor, becoming part of the
planet itself."...'

Lawks-a-mercy, let's hope the gentle Saturians don't mind a bonfire in their backyard.
