Hi Carolyn,
When looking at these images from Saturn and it's moons, you cannot help but be in awe at the sheer vastness and grandeur of the Saturnian system. These images are not only full of great science but have a beauty that is almost impossible to imagine. I have been using this site since the beginning and I have never lost that fascination with Saturn and it's moons. As an observational astronomer I have always viewed the planet when in view and can still remember the first time I viewed it almost 40 years ago! The images are a reminder of just how small we are here on Earth and of the beauty that circles all around us. You and the CASSINI team do an amazing job bringing us these amazing images and I thank you personally and I am sure for everyone who visits the site. Thank you. John Cave (UK).

I also thank Roy Miranda, for the poignant reminder we are all in this together, wherever we are. no matter what part of this little speck in the universe we call home.

Thank you, Roy Miranda, for reminding us how astonishing and paradigm-shifting it is that we are now at Saturn ...VERY far from Earth and ever farther from Burundi! (And thank you for your kind words, too)

Dear Carolyn Porco,
I logged on to your site from the NASA Daily Digest site, what an amazing person you are, your way of expression, in putting Billions of countless words into a few words of covering what you want to get across as information, just brilliant. I am just blown away with your article on Saturn, I writing to you from a place called Bujumbura, Burundi, right in the heart of Africa, where things move slow and easy and everyone tries not to draw to much sweat with anything, the sun comes up at 6am and goes down at 6pm, we are in Tarzan’s home, just the way the world should look, hardly any pollution and green jungles and abundance of fresh water lakes. Reading your articles and looking out of the window is weird feeling, you taking us round Saturn and here I am sitting looking out the window and the people outside have not been to the next little village 5miles down the road. No electricity for hours some days and we off to Saturn mind blowing. Keep up the exploration; I just cannot imagine what the next 10 years is going to bring about.

I've been a long time without posting here, but thank you sincerely, Dr. Porco for sharing your love of space exploration with us. May the remaining years of the Cassini mission be so fruitful and full of exciting discoveries as the previous ones.

You're right Carolyn. We're not in Kansas anymore and we can't go back. It has been a splendid ten years. Awesome in the true sense of the word. I thank you and the team for your dedication. You folks are the greatest.
I do have one wish. I wish I could have the Cassini build team make me a car. It would be so nice to have a vehicle that could go that many miles, last that many years without a service visit, and still not be recalled!! rulesfor (Jun 30, 2014 at 10:19 PM):
Thank you, Dr. Porco, for sharing your passion and wonder for all things Cassini. You have made this adventure at Saturn come alive for me and countless others in a way no one else possibly could have. I can't wait to read the eventual book that you've hinted at before and absolutely must write, please!!!

Madamme Porco, Your recognition of the importance and significance of events in our space adventure distinguishes you from most. I am in awe of your eloquence and your devotion to your mission. We are truly blessed to have you traipsing around with we mortals.

Thank you, Carolyn, for being able so eloquently to express the wonder that this amazing mission evokes.
