Personally I think it's an awsome bit of technolgy. The reason it looks like it's blowing up is because it's falling and spinining which makes it act like a fish-eye lense and gives the widest view possible.

A typical camera wouldn't see a thing because there is a lot less light on Titan than a moonlit night on Earth and an artificial light source wouldn't work over that distance.

It's also about minus 170 degC so a typical camera wouldn't last long before it's moving parts froze solid.

I believe it was more of a overview rather a complete computer they were working off of. and I think the information was sped up

Hey, this is NOT a NASA video!!

It's a ESA video, and Huygens is a French probe, Cassini is American.
