looks to me like they were only 8 ft (2.4m) short ... and they said something about erosion around the nearer rocks (like the one with a "4" on it) and that made me think about tides ... you would think that Saturn would cause significant tides on titan eh?

next time maybe they can use fuel cells for power that access the atmosphere ... or the liquid?

yes, I hope there are more pictures still to come even if the probe is now dead.
