After I put the high-rez Saturn image on the moderately-big screen, and stood in front of it instead of sitting, I did experience the sense of looking out a viewport, looking down from above the ecliptic, in a wide panorama that let me hold the entire Saturnian system between my outstretched arms. And the image being "Raoul-sized", the illusion was nearly perfect, as I could focus in and details like the rings would resolve, just as they would if I'd actually been there.

And being there is what it's all about. Our robotic surrogates are prostheses, extending our senses out billions of miles. Our senses mediate the reality right under our noses, so what difference does it make if there's a robot and a radio link intermediate between us and Saturn? I got to be there through that image. It worked.
