hey i was checking this out a while back. they were supposed to hit saturn around july or something but as far as i can tell there has been nothing so far.

also i know that they already tried to use the same technique on jupiter. they hit it with around 14 lbs of plutonium whereas the saturn mission is supposed to have like 3 times as much, around like 73 lbs or something. the thing i hear people saying about this is the gravity in general most likely wouldnt be strong enough from a nuke for any fusion effect to happen. kinda like with jupiter, theres now a huge black dot on the atmosphere from that blast, yet nothing came of it.

ive been checking back every now and then since july about this and so far, nothing. so dont worry too much, i figure it either failed or was scrapped
