Their messages will reach us, their messages will teach us

Galileo, the space probe to explore Jupiter which was launched 13 years ago, is about to die. NASA is about to put it out of its misery:

After circling the solar system's biggest planet for seven years - five more than originally planned - Galileo is virtually blind, has trouble speaking and its mind is starting to go.

But not before asking it for one more trip, for old time's sake.

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

- Albert Einstein, explaining radio

There used to be a cat
