They build 'em nice in Pasadena, CA.

During a JPL open house, I saw the Cassini spacecraft being assembled in the Clean Room. Was cracking up with an ESA Engineer about the Huygens Titan probe on how life could be detected on the surface of the moon. Motion detector? Altimeter noticing that "something" picked it up?

While Cassini does not have the instrumentation to directly confirm the presence of microbes in the ocean of Enceladus, the latest data from the space probe reinforces the notion that the icy moon of Saturn — one-seventh the size of Earth’s moon — is one of the best places to look for extraterrestrial life in the solar system.
