I don't care who you are or what you do, but you can't help be impressed by the images that are coming back from Cassini. They are awesome. They are beautiful. They are also very expensive.

If you think your digital camera is expensive, it's nothing compared to what we spend on these interstellar photographic missions. I'm not saying it's not worth it. At some level, we have a responsibility to explore our world, it's just something to think about.
