"Cassini, the elaborate NASA space probe that dipped into the coral-orange atmosphere of the giant Saturnian moon Titan last week, is an advertisement for cooperative science. Though coordinated centrally, at Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the mission has repeatedly skirted disasters in the seven years since its launching because it has somehow inspired science teams from many nations, and from both the commercial and public sectors, to work together on everything from fixing faulty gadgets to steering clear of space debris."

Bigawd, some things can be done right in this country.
