I can never watch this without getting tears in my eyes.
Anybody got a url for that last image? The one they did _not_, for some unfathomable reason, show properly? I thought I had already seen the Earth image, but not with the brilliance of what was hinted at there.Thanks to everyone involved, especially Carolyn and team. This was such an important event for me too, so much that when we unexpectedly acquired a rescue cat on the day of the launch I just had to name him Cassini.
