They considered sending Cassini from Saturn to WHERE? The strangest plan for the end of Cassini.
On October 8, 2018, ESA launched BepiColumbo to Mercury. But did you know that there was another spacecraft that had considered a flight to Mercury at the same time? Cassini briefly considered doing a flyby of Jupiter to bring it to Mercury the same time that BepiColumbo would be there. I briefly discuss this strange plan that could have taken place.
