2004 Huygens probe to Saturn's Titan: Still our only outer solar system lander

>No spacecraft has ever landed in the outer solar system — except one: the Huygens probe,

Editors are asleep at spacedaily.com or have been replaced by a shitty AI. Rosetta landed on 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in the outer solar system in 2015.

Ah, what a perfect opportunity to link one of my favorite old Youtube videos, which is an animation of a significant amount of telemetry captured by Huygens as it landed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZC4u0clEc0

I always loved the presentation of the information.

With new, lower-cost heavy lift capabilities coming online soon such as SpaceX Starhip it would make sense to explore the outer solar system with a mass manufactured probes.

So instead of designing totally bespoke multi-billion-dollar probes, build dozens of hundred-million dollar probes that leverage efficiencies of scale just like any other industrial product.

Send them to every outer planet, every moon, and every large asteroid like Ceres!

I remember listening to the landing on NPR(?) when it happened. There was no streaming back then and IDK what channel it would have been on if it was on TV at all. IIRC they brought someone special into the studio because they expected to need someone who was extra good at verbalizing visual things. It was very impressive at the time.
