I love that the Cassini imaging team, led by Carolyn Porco, has given us so much information on the Saturnian system. Amazing fly-bys of the ice plumes of Enceladus seems to have gotten imaginations rolling, and now we may be doing a sample return mission? Its way too early to be sure of funding at this point, but that would be amazing, and one of the best chances of finding extra-terrestrial microbial life in our solar system (especially with the recent-ish news that DNA can survive (at least short) stints in space*). If we could also convince the people-who-sign-the-cheques to send a probe to Europa, I would be a happy human.
