I would like to hear any scientific data either way, that would calculate the possibility of putting Cassini into orbit around Titan after the primary mission goals have been reached. Remaining fuel, possible braking techniques, etc.<br /><br />I have been studying and photographing Saturn and the other planets for years now and I must say that Titan intrigues me, and I believe it holds more significant scientific data than Saturn does. It seems to be the case where bigger isn't necessarily better. Yes, understanding Saturn is scientifically important -- but the amount of science we can do with a dynamic terrestrial world like Titan is magnitudes higher in my opinion. It would also allow us to better map Titan's surface in preparation of future missions.
