Stuff Like This Doesn't Get Enough Media Coverage

These are some breathtaking photos of Saturn and its moons. Stuff like this doesn't get enough media coverage these days, and I think that's part of the reason NASA is so underfunded. That, and the U.S.'s tendency to favor defense spending over scientific research.

Every day, we are making tremendous scientific breakthroughs, yet the new Sex and the City movie probably got more press coverage than the Phoenix Mars Lander (More about this in the future. Long story short: The Phoenix may have landed right on a giant block of ice covered by dust. This is a huge deal.)
