How to Probe a moon

(See what I'm talking about)
Space exploration is fun. I'm glad that at least part of my "quarter-of-your-salary-federal-tax-dollars" go to NASA. I wish I could allocate less to the War and Religion departments and more to the Exploration department. And the Love department. We need to have some exploratory love probes, methinks. Scientists of the world: get working!
Sigh.
(also at): IndiaDaily - Probe to land on Saturn moon: "If all goes well, the saucer-shaped Huygens will enter the thick atmosphere of Titan Friday at about 5:13 a.m. (ET). The data should start trickling in about five hours later."
(Thanks Pablo for the heads-up on this one.)
UPDATE from space.com: 11:35 a.m. EST: It's confirmed! Huygens has successfully returned science data from Titan's surface. The probe's landing is the farthest touchdown for any human-built object to set land on another world.

Haha! You said "probe" just after "aliens" and "deep"!
