briefings that follow 67 00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:06,660 attends a science briefings that follow now if this is in these were some of the 68 00:02:06,660 --> 00:02:06,670 now if this is in these were some of the 69 00:02:06,670 --> 00:02:08,790 now if this is in these were some of the storytellers the engineers and 70 00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:08,800 storytellers the engineers and 71 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,190 storytellers the engineers and scientists want unsigned you that it's 72 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:11,200 scientists want unsigned you that it's 73 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,620 scientists want unsigned you that it's always gratifying to have the results be 74 00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:13,630 always gratifying to have the results be 75 00:02:13,630 --> 00:02:14,910 always gratifying to have the results be something more than what was expected 76 00:02:14,910 --> 00:02:14,920 something more than what was expected 77 00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:17,550 something more than what was expected and Saturn and what we have found was 78 00:02:17,550 --> 00:02:17,560 and Saturn and what we have found was 79 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,850 and Saturn and what we have found was not expected I suspect even for the next 80 00:02:20,850 --> 00:02:20,860 not expected I suspect even for the next 81 00:02:20,860 --> 00:02:23,940 not expected I suspect even for the next few years we will find a new discoveries 82 00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:23,950 few years we will find a new discoveries 83 00:02:23,950 --> 00:02:25,530 few years we will find a new discoveries in the data which we've acquired in the 84 00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:25,540 in the data which we've acquired in the 85 00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:27,660 in the data which we've acquired in the last few days as we see more and more 86 00:02:27,660 --> 00:02:27,670 last few days as we see more and more 87 00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:29,670 last few days as we see more and more examples of the way the universe can put 88 00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:29,680 examples of the way the universe can put 89 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,050 examples of the way the universe can put planets together we find that our 90 00:02:31,050 --> 00:02:31,060 planets together we find that our 91 00:02:31,060 --> 00:02:32,880 planets together we find that our terrestrial perspective in explaining 92 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:32,890 terrestrial perspective in explaining 93 00:02:32,890 --> 00:02:33,550 terrestrial perspective in explaining our own 94 00:02:33,550 --> 00:02:33,560 our own 95 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,350 our own planet has been rather limited we get 96 00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:35,360 planet has been rather limited we get 97 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,410 planet has been rather limited we get new ideas from this what we learned 98 00:02:38,410 --> 00:02:38,420 new ideas from this what we learned 99 00:02:38,420 --> 00:02:41,260 new ideas from this what we learned about Saturn during that encounter and 100 00:02:41,260 --> 00:02:41,270 about Saturn during that encounter and 101 00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:44,710 about Saturn during that encounter and during the months that preceded it have 102 00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:44,720 during the months that preceded it have 103 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,880 during the months that preceded it have really rewritten the textbooks on Saturn 104 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:47,890 really rewritten the textbooks on Saturn 105 00:02:47,890 --> 00:02:50,559 really rewritten the textbooks on Saturn next August Voyager 2 will approach 106 00:02:50,559 --> 00:02:50,569 next August Voyager 2 will approach 107 00:02:50,569 --> 00:02:53,380 next August Voyager 2 will approach Saturn pass by the ring spectacle of gas 108 00:02:53,380 --> 00:02:53,390 Saturn pass by the ring spectacle of gas 109 00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:55,540 Saturn pass by the ring spectacle of gas and ice from a different angle and then 110 00:02:55,540 --> 00:02:55,550 and ice from a different angle and then 111 00:02:55,550 --> 00:02:59,080 and ice from a different angle and then fly on to Uranus arriving there in 1986 112 00:02:59,080 --> 00:02:59,090 fly on to Uranus arriving there in 1986 113 00:02:59,090
