- dylan604 6mo agoBy who? The Parker is doing everything it can to get closer to the sun by dipping into the sun's atmosphere while New Horizons went to Pluto and is getting further and further away from the sun. I don't think you could have a more opposite mission than these two.

- karlgkk 6mo agoIDK a lot of media. I think they’re two surface level similar missions. It’s not so much about what they’re doing, but rather how they’re built and represented to the public IDK, my point is I can see how some people might get confused about the more Guinness book style factoid around these missions
