how come it was taking and sending HD pics keeping in mind it was launched in 97 must have taken at least 3 yrs in development, HD pics in 1994? what am I missing here?

This is an excellent opportunity to point out that without risk, there is little reward. In this case, much was risked and much was rewarded. Amazing stuff. Also, it just goes to show how much we can achieve as humans and validates our terrestrial quandaries and calculations. Take for instance Michio Kaku, he was a Cassini-doubter in the beginning and accused of "wild accusations" when he claimed the final flyby of earth could be catastrophic and could take out 200k people in an urban area on the mainstream media channels, google the Mother Jones article from 1997 if you want to read the article. Look how much amazing science came out of the program, and so many more things will be invented and discovered because of this work. For me, this is what progress really looks like.

An example of what's to come. More unmanned and more sophisticated explorers and telescopes. A great and wise way to use technology to answer the most important question of the human race. Are we alone?

Really great job NASA, I know its probably the hope of all NASA scientists, that all people will go to Saturn, but more than likely 99% of earths population will not be able to travel or live on Saturn one day. It'll make a great escape destination for the ultra rich.
