And at the end of the talk one question from the audience was something like: "With Galileo's plunge in mind, at the end of the Cassini mission, what would you like to see happen?" Her response had Cassini plunging through a gap in the ring's.

Since Mimas is so close in, maybe they could do a flyby, then.
