Dear Saturn,
I have insulted you, and I apologize. As you will have undoubtedly seen, in today's newsletter (
#80), I gave possession to one of your moons, Titan, to Jupiter, your mortal gas giant enemy. I know you have the relationship to the largest planet that Chicago has to New York, or the A's to the Giants, or almond butter to peanut butter. Second. Always second.
But you are not second to me. You are first in my heart. And though I'd rather send an autonomous submarine to Europa (because water), there is no planet I would rather see with my own eyes than you. Photos of you star on my desktop. I have flown through your rings in my dreams. False color or not, you are the most beautiful planet in our solar system.
So, sorry about the Titan thing, and please start returning my texts.
Sincerely,
Alexis
