It made me laugh as to why it must be burned up. That's to insure 'human microbes' don't contaminate Titan's atmosphere. Here we have a Paradise (Earth) and we are polluting IT everyday more and more. And nobody cares. It just don't make sense!

Objects that we see in the sky above us that it is so far away, and the light has taken so long to reach us...(light-years).... that they are no longer there!
