There's something inspiring about this robot we built careening on the edge of the solar system. We should be launching another one today, with even more ambitious exploration goals.
- yaix 16y agoThat would be great. However, we just spent a trillion dollars to destroy a few cities in some desert in the Middle East, killing some 100k people on the way. For some reason that seemed to be a better idea than exploring space. :( >> in the next few years, leave the space dominated by the influence >> of our Sun and enter the province between the stars - interstellar >> space. That sounds just awesome.
- prawn 16y agoSpace seemed so much closer when I was 5-10 yo (early 80s) than it does now. So much space fiction has been replaced by fantasies about wizardry and vampires in an Earth-setting, as though they're somehow more realistic for daydreamers.
