  • NASA News: Europa Clipper successful launch!

    NASA news article

    And summary from the mission page:
    "Europa Clipper is the first mission designed to conduct a detailed study of Jupiter's moon Europa. There’s scientific evidence that the ingredients for life may exist on Europa right now. The spacecraft will travel 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion km) to reach Jupiter in April 2030. It will orbit Jupiter, and conduct 49 close flybys of Europa."
    Cheap, fast, good. Pick two.
    They want us to read minds, I want read/write.

    OOOOH I'm going to Europa! My name was one of the (probably) thousands on their "Message in a Bottle"!
    I was working today so didn't get the launch but thanks to the wonders of the internet I can watch it either tonight or tomorrow.
