This is Jordan
NASA has decided that Cassini is doomed to crash into Saturn to save one of one of Uranus' moons, Titan, the moon supposedly had water underground. the space probe thingy is running out of fuel, goodbye Cassini.
this is a link to the video.
So, what's interesting to me is that the reason they don't want the probe to crash into Titan is that they're hoping to see if Titan develops some form of life they way they think life started on Earth. If the probe were to crash on Titan and life developed, they'd never know if some single-celled organisms on Cassini had traveled from Earth, so they don't want to risk contamination of Titan because then they'd never know if life could spontaneously form given the right conditions.
