Oh come on, no love for New Horizons' ongoing mission?

Ultimate Thule (tool-ee), motherf**kers! More, closer, higher-res photos coming in February, with data from the flyby drip-feeding until 2020, all going well.

I am so glad I'm alive for this. Feels like I missed out with the Space Race and Voyager's Tour.

[Local Trouble]

Wouldn't you rather be alive during a time when we have FTL space travel and can actually explore the universe?

[SM]

Yes.

Sounds like a baddie from Conan the Barbarian.

You mean "if" we have FTL?

We had so many close calls with huge city destroying meteors if it weren't for our lovely moon.

Yup, our shield against planetary puberty

i just want to admire the beauty of our Super Blood Wolf Moon







Makes me wonder how would this kind of moon be used in mythology like for werewolves.

[Mr.Turok]

"my battery is low and it's getting dark" is so hauntingly human, so crushingly lonely. I can't articulate the deep, profound ache that sentence evokes. It's acceptance and defeat and terror and sadness all at once, all from one tiny machine we asked to explore the stars for us.

Found me that quote and damm. I its projecting and all but when you include the situation at hand, you just can't help it. You are lost but never forgotten Opportunity.
