Preempted...

Tonight my TV debut was preempted by water that may have been found on one of Saturn's Moons.

Now don't get me wrong, Saturn is cool with those big rings and all. My first pajamas had planet and space ship designs on them. I couldn't have discerned a lunar module from a crawler at that age, but I knew what Saturn was, and Saturn was cool.

But water on one of Saturn's moons? Is that cool? Apparently to one of the scientists mapping out that section of the solar system it is:

"I'm quite excited. Since my interest is in icy satellites, this is a dream that has been a long time in coming," says VIMS scientist, Robert Brown.

And so it is apparently, to the local news which aired the Saturn segment during my spot. So for now, my story is set to air on Sunday at 3:55PM on local Channel 13.

That is of course, unless there is something more compelling to report, like a probe getting stuck on Uranus.

From what I understand, the Sunday story will be a "longer form" piece, going into more depth why Ron is making the hike.

The Monday version will be much shorter in length, with fewer details.
