Ok wait a minute. Landing 2 probes on mars, which is basically just a bunch
of dry lifeless rocks, this is worth the effort but landing a probe on say
Rhea which is 2/3rds water ice this isn't worth the effort? They are on
mars looking for ice and would be thrilled to actually find some because it
means there might be life but here is a moon that is mostly ice and it's
not worth a look? I don't think so.. 

I have found nothing in nasa's inventory like the standard scifi ringed
planetrise type pictures except for the earth rising over the moon.
