and the "descent through the atmosphere" sound almost certainly has to be a fake. listen - it just sounds like a short, looping static sample that changes to random volumes. and not even smoothly - just jumping to random volumes.

The graphics and sound are highly compressed, although why cant they use and take colour photographs ?

[Education]
Radio waves, being part of the light spectrum, travel at the speed of light, and at that distance would reach us in just over an hour.
[/Education]

Anyway, it's very cool that everything went well. Hopefully we'll be seeing rover missions to Titan soon, as well.


High quality models and graphics, low prices. Graphics for the rest of us.

unlike the images they send a satalite does not travel the speed of light (as far as i know) therefore they must have launched it before high quality cameras

" DrakeX: If you read the description for that sound, you'll see why it is that way. Thank you for practicing intelligence."

maybe that accounts for the sudden shifts in volume, but what about the very, VERY obvious loop? just listen to it, and you'll hear the "beat", a little faster than once a second.
