Galileo's Last Ride - "The spacecraft Galileo, explorer of Jupiter and its moons, is entering the final phases of its mission." "In September 2003, it will plunge into the giant planet's atmosphere and cease to exist.", sad but inevitable. it is quite amazing that it has lasted this long, and it's a wonderful testament to NASA's engineering capabilities.
