ALT A photo of a sketch summarizing Rudi’s poster from LPSC. It shows a hypothetical cross section of Titan, including its lakes, subsurface transport of hydrocarbons, convective ice, an ocean, and more. Above it, to the top right, is a little spacecraft observing Titan. The text describes the instruments, major questions, and how the mission concept was developed during the JPL planetary science summer school.

ALT Quote by Carl Sagan: “if the general public doesn’t understand science and technology, then who is making all of the decisions about science and technology that are going to determine what kind of future our children live in, some members of congress? There are only a handful who have any background in science at all, and some of them don’t even want to know about it.”
ALT Quote by Carl Sagan: “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
