I made the mistake of imagining what it would be like to be Cassini, watching Saturn grow larger & larger, sending my discoveries home...
Cassini the brave; given its last marching orders, there are no more commands to come, no plan for the next sequence.

I’ve been thinking this week about why the March For Our Lives protests gives me so much hope for our future, and, as an engineer, I think I’ve put my finger on it.
Often times in engineering & science it's easy to let past experience dictate future development; to say because something hasn't been done before it's impossible or too difficult.
Take SpaceX, for example. Landing rockets reliably was one of those things that people looked at before and decided wasn't worth it (many reasons, but technical challenges among them). SpaceX & Elon Musk challenged those preconceived notions and we got Falcon 9 & Heavy.
