Landing on Titan

and beaming back data is simply amazing - I think its hard to quantify just how much of a stunning impressive achievement this is. 25 years of total effort and everything had to go according to plan - plus or minus some workarounds: like having to change the entry trajectory of the probe remotely to deal with the doppler shift.

Make hacking around with computer code and networks seem a rather humble occupation!
