Four Cassini stories
Sue Kientz of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently e-mailed me to express her appreication for my article on Cassini-Huygens. She also tipped me off to four children’s stories she wrote about the mission, explaining it in “non-techy (and fun!) terms.” (She previously wrote some illustrated web stories for the Galileo mission.)
Writes Sue, “These stories talk about the mission in plain language that anyone can understand, with playful illustrations showing Cassini on its way to Saturn and all the decision making that needed to be done.”
I highly recommend them!
And remember–June 30 is the big day. Keep your fingers crossed for Cassini!
