It took six years and 261 earth days for the Saturnians to get their pre-ordered flagship-class unmanned robotic spacecraft. Then, Planet Express held it in orbit for another 13+ earth-years while customs got everything sorted out. I hear the Saturnian backers were really pleased with the final hardware.

Awesome 'forged tribute.

Nice job. Now that took some time to engrave, I’ll bet.

Nice! Most of what we know about Saturn came from Cassini. In a poetic twist, I believe the anniversary of Giovanni Cassini’s death was day before yesterday…
