1) The rings are made up of ice, dust, and

rock they get built up becasue passing

somets and meteorietes collide with

saturns moons. come are as mall as

a grain of salt ans others are the size

of cars.



2) We have an unmanned probe in Saturn orbit

Unmanned probes are cheaper than manned

probes.You can send a probe and not have it

return and that would be fine.

hi,
Saturn's rings are made of billions of pieces of ice, dust and rocks. Some of these particles are as small as a grain of salt, while others are as big as houses.
We have an unmanned probe in Saturn orbit now. There's lots to learn there. Unmanned probes are much, much cheaper than manned probes. A billion or two dollars to go into orbit about Saturn with a probe. Probably can't be done for a trillion dollars with people. You know. You have to feed them, give them air, protect them from radiation and such. But you can send a probe to it's death. Everyone's sad when it dies, but that's the breaks.
hope it helped!
