QUESTION:
Why is the probe going into Titan and not Saturn?

ANSWER from FAQ on June 3, 1999:
Saturn's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium, like Jupiter's. Not
that that makes it boring; it's just that Titan, its atmosphere and
surface are extraordinarily interesting and unique. Titan is one of the
few terrestrial bodies in the solar system with an atmosphere, and it's
the only one with a thick nitrogen atmosphere. It's also the only one
where exotic lakes of ethane and methane are believed to exist.
Scientists believe it is representative of a prebiotic state resembling
that of early Earth. Titan is a strange place, there's nothing quite
like it anywhere in the solar system, and we have just one chance to go
there in the next decade or so. Eventually, a probe will probably be
sent directly into Saturn's atmosphere in the same way Galileo is
sending a probe into Jupiter's.
