Without the military victories, the effort needed for exploration would never have been available.

And now, Moslems in Spain are complaining they are 'offended' by Spanish celebrations of their own liberation from foreign occupation by the Moors.

  - My guess is it's related to the high percentage of organic material in Comet Wild (n/t) - Buck Galaxy - 3/9/2006 5:33:32 PM
    - I am guessing Enceladus keep supplies Saturn's rings with icy material. (n/t) - REB - 3/9/2006 6:14:13 PM
      - rLooks like Enceladus is the source for the E-ring. - REB - 3/10/2006 7:49:01 PM

        Enceladus probably was much larger in the past... - REB - 3/9/2006 10:20:52 PM

        That is the main reason I think Enceladus is basically a large drop of water with an icy crust. - REB - 3/10/2006 1:07:48 PM
        
        Not a small core - Adam - 3/13/2006 9:33:30 PM
    - Looks like that's not it: NASA's Cassini spacecraft may have found evidence of liquid water reservoirs that erupt in Yellowstone-like geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus. (n/t) - Buck Galaxy - 3/9/2006 5:45:44 PM

      - My guess would be tidal forces, like on Io. - alcaray - 3/10/2006 3:47:36 PM
