Dear concerned all,
 
The following is for your information and if you consider it worthwhile it
is also for your participation, further distribution or at least your own
awareness.   Whether all the details are correct I cannot guarantee, but the
fact alone of sending another spacecraft with a large load of Plutonium into
space is enough reason for concern - not out of anti-technology sentiment
(as is often argued by the pro-nuclear proliferation side), but out of
simple safety concerns, particularly when there are other (just as
high-tech) solutions available.
 
Regards

The mission is called Cassini and intends to explore the rings around Saturn

In Italian, a casino is a whore house and "fare casini" means making a big
mess.  Accidental?
 
The speed of the space craft at its most critical point (leaving earth or
reentering and burning up in its atmosphere) near earth is supposed to be
711.666 Miles per minute.  If you believe in numerical symbology this means
"playing dice (gambling - casino) with the devil".  Accidental?
 
Accidental, accident or not, puns aside.
 
No big deal if this would be just an ordinary space mission; but the payload
is a Saturn explorer with 72 lbs of plutonium on board.  The published risk
analysis seems highly understated if considering case histories and keeps
changing; and the worst case scenario is that enough Plutonium is
distributed in the earth atmosphere to cause lung cancer in every human
being; no speculation on what it might do to the rest of nature.
 
The deal can supposedly be avoided by a few  years' delay for redesigning
the spacecraft with solar panels.  No risk versus high risk?
 
Are we that much in a rush or willing to gamble with a saved billion against
trillions of dollars of damages to risk global health (i.e. possibly more
Plutonium released than during all nuclear testing combined) for just a
little bit more of scientific knowledge?  OR?
