Bones May heal Quicker in Earth type Gravity
Hey check this out! NASA's Cassini probe has now been circling Saturn for 13 years.
Cassini was launched on Oct. 15, 1997, covered a total of 2.2 billion miles. The journey featured Venus flybys in April 1998 and June 1999, an Earth encounter in August 1999, and a Jupiter flyby in December 2000.

Pathfinder helped pave the way for two decades of eight other NASA robots to have reached Mars, and five of them remain active today.
