I don't know if I've mentioned just how cool it is that we can see the surface of a moon that is around a gas giant that took seven years to get too.
I did note that the orange picture in this article looks sorta like the G's homestead. Well, except for no trees and fewer rocks. Oh and no screaming spawn.
I wonder if the probe was intended to only last 70 minutes. Seems awful short to me, but they estimated that it would only transmit for about 30 minutes. From the little bits and pieces I've seen it looks like that was the design. Short because of the limited amount of time that Cassini would be above the horizon to receive. It also broadcast on the whole descent. See this article on the probes construction.
