Lucifer Project :
October 18,1989 Space Shuttle Atlantis launches with the Galileo Space probe.
The probe is powered by 17.2lbs of plutonium238.
December 7, 1995 Galileo reaches Jupiter.
September 21,2003 galileo is destroyed during a controlled impact with Jupiter.
October 19, 2003 A mysterious black spot appears on Jupiter.
The spot i 7,900 miles in diameter... roughly the size of the Earth.
Due to extreme pressure of Jupiters Hydrogen Atmosphere the nuclear payload triggered a chain reaction.

The largest weapon ever made was the Tsar Bomba 50 megaton nuclear bomb.The fireball was 2.8mi diameter.
The galileo space probe produced a blast 2821x bigger than Tsar Bomba.

Oct 15,1997 The Cassini space probe launches.powered by 72.3lbs of Plutonium238, the most ever launched into space.
On 7/7/08 Cassini will impact Saturn causing an even larger blast.

With an atmosphere composed almost entirely of hydrogen there are theories that saturn will become a second sun.
On oct. 11 2006 NASA sent images of a large 'hurricane" at saturns south pole.
Unlike Galileo, Cassini will travel further into the planets by going through the opening at the pole.
The effects on the Earth from a Saturn star formation are unknown.
The theory is that a constant radition shower will hit the earth lasting many weeks, killing millions.
The effects will become visible around 28 days after the impact.

the press release says this...
2008 (early July to late July) – Cassini plunges into a polar region of Saturn in order to increase acceleration of gravity before impact (Saturn is very oblate). This will give the pellets a head start and a much greater penetration depth than if the equator were used. Also the polar region is less likely to have a storm brewing. A few days later, or maybe weeks later, the plutonium pellets reach crush depth and implode 15-25% of the way to the center of Saturn and igniting it entirely into a star. NASA does not have to officially deny responsibility because the question is never asked of them “Did Cassini cause this?” just as they were never questioned about the mystery Jupiter spot at the point where Galileo went in. The trick has been all along how to get the pellets in deep enough for a significant disturbance to occur. Saturn allows this with much less density than Jupiter and less of a radius to start with especially going into Saturn at its pole where the radius is 10% less than Saturn at the equator. Jupiter may have been a hopeful first try and more of a test or precursor to Saturn. Even A.C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick originally envisioned Saturn as the best candidate. Another thing to note is that a Saturn ignition is much safer for Earth than a Jupiter ignition as far as ejecta disturbing our atmosphere. The amount of ionized hydrogen that reaches us from Saturn will be a fraction of that from a Jupiter ignition, but still risky . I estimate the mass of ionized hydrogen intercepted by the Earth to average .015 kg/m2/day for every square meter of the Earth for about two weeks and traveling at high speeds. During the last couple days heavier elements will reach the Earth in smaller quantities. 2008 (late July) – The new star is named, possibly Lucifer, or a derivative of that. The “sign from the heavens” is used to ordain a great world leader, or a leader who had just taken power prior to the event.

2008 (Jul/Aug/Sept) – After a few weeks of 24/7 talk of the implications, causes, effects, etc. of the new star, Earth begins to get showered with the ejecta from Saturn. The shower lasts 2 to 3 weeks and includes some heavier elements towards the end. This directly or indirectly kills millions of people and animals on Earth - a great boost for population control. Those “in the know” hide out in underground cities and bunkers for several weeks to several months until Earth's ozone shell has recovered. 2009 – The new world reality sets in. After coping with the effects of the event, the survivors find that having a second sun is novel. Earth is completely changed, all infrastructures, political structures, and religions are thrust into chaos. The strongest surviving military force soon takes control of the Earth. 2010 – A call goes up to investigate and explore the new system of Saturn/Titan. 365/24/7 time and unlimited resources go into the new international venture. Terraforming plans start on a grand scale.

2033 - Humans set foot on an earthlike Titan.
