How many times have we heard that over the years? The TV guys make it sound so easy.
But the reality is much more diffficult, especially when you are watching from more than halfway across the solar system.

Cassini Spacecraft Enters Saturn's Orbit Between Two of Its Rings
...
A carefully choreographed maneuver allowed Cassini to be captured by Saturn's gravity as it arced within 12,500 miles of the giant planet's cloud tops.
Using its big radio dish as a shield against small particles, the spacecraft ascended through a gap between two of the rings, then spun around and fired its engine for more than 1 1/2 hours to slow its acceleration.
The craft then rotated again to place its shielding antenna in front as it descended back through the gap.
Since the craft was over 900 million miles away, all JPL could do was watch, and hope that Cassini-Huygens worked as advertised. It did so, by flying between two of Saturn's rings.
Good on ya, guys!
