Good to see a home girl (no sexist or racist intent) makes good in such a great cosmic field....I envy her stick to it ness, most of my time from HS onward was wasted on less lofty persuits....mostly partying.....though I spent a bit of that time looking through a 4 inch reflector at the planets....it still amazes me to look at the gas giants with their circling satellites....

We remember her as being a nice kid and smart but never imagined she'd reach the heights she has achieved. Way to go! A few former classmates will be at her lecture on 9/15/08 at the Hayden Planetarium. Hope we can have some time to reminisce with you, Carolyn. Keep up the good work.

Carolyn Porco actually read my post. What a great day! :) Thank you, Carolyn, for taking the time to reply. My criticism of what you said was meant in the humblest and most respectful way — intended as discussion rather than criticism. (I never thought it would be you replying to it!) It's an honour to talk to a real genuine space "explorer"! And congratulations on all your brilliant work. Jamie xxx :D Wow. Carolyn Porco actually read my post. What a great day! :)

Another moment I loved was when Ellie is pinned down in the hearing about whether what she experienced really happened, and she looks across at Josh and realises that she is now in the position she placed him in earlier. She understands what he was saying. #91… agreed, a good moment there.

I have enjoyed seeing you on the Science Channel shows. If you can help make us feel a fraction of the wonder and amazement that you display when talking about the planets then your job will be successful! How about a liquid methane volcanic eruption peeking over the horizon of some moon? That would bee truly beautiful! Welcome aboard Dr. Porco!

I'd love to see Trek use space almost like a character... much like the westerns used the grandeur of places like Monument Valley and Red Rock Park to give their stories a mythic quality.

Since space is a vacume there is no air to transmit. They do this in the movies because without sound alot movies science wont work ofr have the same impact without sound. This is an error which pretty much all of us can live with Just about every spaced based scifi film I have ever seen With maybe the Exception of 2001 a space odyssey violates the rule that says there can be no sound in space.
