11 October 2005, Cassini orbiter flyby (500 km) of the Saturn moon Dione According to ancient legend Daedalus and Icarus escaped on waxen wings from Minoan Crete. It is difficult to believe that there is some truth in this story even if in 23 April 1988 a human powered flying vehicle (called Daedalus!) with Kanellos Kanellopoulos as cyclist pilot, covered the 118 km distance from Crete to Santorini in 3 hours and 54 minutes.
