"Recent Cassini images of Saturn's moon Enceladus backlit by the sun show the fountain-like sources of the fine spray of material that towers over the south polar region. "Hmm. It seems to me that since this moon is throwing free samples of its internal material into space, that we should take advantage of that fact and send a sample-return mission that way as soon as we can. Grabbing some alien seawater without all the trouble of having to land, drill through ice, return to orbit etc. is a no-brainer.
