      Yeah, definitely! I almost said in my last post that the previous lander photos were underwhelming and that's why i was excited for another opportunity to get footage from the ground. But then i realized this is landing a billion km from Earth, so it would be a little stuck up to not appreciate the photos we already have.

    Note: Dragonfly actually not nuclear powered. It will be powered by a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator(RTG). RTG uses radioactive materials to generate electricity but not through nuclear fission. It uses the Seebeck Effect principle to generate electricity. So we can't say it's nuclear powered.

And another mission is sending a different drone copter to Mars. How cool is that? I can't wait for either of them - not to mention some other upcoming missions to Europa. But Titan is a uniquely fascinating world; analogs of Earth's chemical processes create strangely Earth-like conditions - albeit much, much colder, of course.
