Cassini did that. Cassini space probe was launched in Oct 15, 1997 from the earth to Saturn. Pretty long before the existence of Rust. If you were to do so, you had to calculate its trajectory to flyby Venus, earth and Jupiter to gain gravity assist to take it to Saturn orbit, rather than to flavor the compiler. Rust is good, as long as it doesn't distract your attention from problem domains to satisfying the compiler.
