NASA Launching Spacecraft In 2020s To Study Jupiter’s Asteroids And Another Made Of Metal
NASA is aiming to do some dope shit in the 2020s. Expecting to launch spacecraft to study Jupiter’s asteroids, and also another one made of metal. Sounds dope! I’m, uh, just not optimistic about us/them making it until then.

Elon Musk is taking our asses to Mars. Maybe. So like, can someone get on settling Europa? NASA has found further evidence of water plumes on the moon, furthering the idea that it has subsurface oceans. Fucking astounding.
Space Swoon: NASA’s Juno spacecraft speeds towards Jupiter’s North Pole
NASA has just flown a spacecraft closer to Jupiter than ever before.

Space Swoon: NASA’s Juno spacecraft nearly at Jupiter
I didn’t know about NASA’s spacecraft, Juno. Or that it was damn close to Jupiter. But now I’m aware of both factoids, and eagerly excited.
NASA: We’re going to Europa, hunting for futzin’ alien life
Today was the first day of development for NASA’s mission to get us to Europa. Where we will find life. Giant, multi-tittied omnisexual telepathic beings, who will have no time for us monkeys and our cruelties.
