In the presscon today they were asked what component(s) of Cassini would last the longest during it's burn up in Saturn's atmosphere and as expected the Pu fuel capsules in the RTGs were noted.

Speed at the point Cassini is expected to tumble out of control is 76,000 miles/hour.


Ouch.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
