Titan Photo Peculiarity
Am I the only one to notice the serious peculiarity in those films that the descending probe to Saturn's moon Titan took of the Titan landscape? What am I referring to? Well, I am referring to the landscape appearing as if it were mountains festooned with dry river beds which once disgorged their contents into basins.
One of the most Earthlike panoramas ever taken on an alien world. In fact, the commentators always point out that fact. But what they fail to mention is, that as the probe slowly descends, those mountains very gradually begin to disappear, and eventually become mere very shallow scars on a mud-like pebble-strewn landscape. In fact, those seemingly towering mountains turn out to be no higher than than the pebbles. Of course one feels disappointed. The commentator tells us that they are meters high. Yet they flatten to virtually nothing.
Here, examine the video for yourselves and tell me if I am getting it wrong.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Radrook Admin: Six guests in 24 hours down from 5000 just a week ago? That is really impressive tweaking.

Radrook Admin: Amazing how the number of guests rose suddenly to 5000 and then has been gradually and steadily going down. Pretty soon I will be getting maybe 100 guests if I am lucky. All of them bots, of course.
