Like a ball on a cosmic pool table, Discovery had bounced off the moving gravitational field of Jupiter, and had gained momentum from the impact. Without using any fuel, she had increased her speed by several thousand miles an hour. The planet had been slowed down - but as its mass was a sextillion times greater than the ship', the change in its orbit was far to small to be detectable. The time had not yet come when Man could leave his mark upon the Solar System. What struck me was the fact that NASA's Cassini spacecraft has just executed this exact maneuver, using Jupiter's gravitational field to propel it on to Saturn.
