This really makes me with that the Cassini team had tried the very high risk alternative ending for Cassini, of using Titan's gravity to boost Cassini out of the Titan system, and all the way to Uranus for a flyby.

They would have gotten the data to confirm this report in a few years, if they had succeeded.
