LOOKING FORWARD: The Europa Clipper

The reel includes animation depicting NASA’s Europa Clipper mission. The second animation in the reel depicts the proposed future mission concept Europa Land...

Of all the missions to launch in the 2020′s, the clipper is the one I am eager for. The mission will be more than a lander,knowing JPL if they’re going to go all the way out to Jupiter you know they’ll do more to make the trip worth it (Voyager wasn’t supposed to go to Uranus or Neptune). I think the orbital side of the mission will be like Cassini all over again, and hopefully avenge what was lost in the 90′s when the Galileo spacecraft high gain antenna didn’t deploy

(Solid dishes do it better)

I can’t wait for the new swag either, hopefully JPL’s giftshop will actually SELL them. I hate hunting pins on Ebay that cost more than they should.(Personal problems, sorry)

Jupiter YOU’RE NEXT!!!!

A Little Box,Launched In The Cold Evening, Into Space-Time On December 11th 2019 A.D.

A little box,Launched in the cold evening, into Space-Time on December 11th 2019 A.D.

The other half, to land on Mars to roam the planet in February of 2021

My silent, cryptic ambassador to the future.. built in the likeness of a spacecraft forever flinging out of the solar system -above their heads- and hermetically sealed with three kinds of industrial space grade tapes and connected through a certificate to a real spacecraft somewhere between ground,sea and interstellar space. Whoever finds it will be very confused and fascinated and thats the point. It doesnt matter what it means.

The last three years were fun, I wish the rest of the group well if they see this. On to a new decade and a new “assignment”...

Until there is a next time,headphones are hanging and signing off..
