Latest pic from 27.7 million kms away: Think we're starting to see some pretty clear hints of surface features on Pluto now, or at least some light and dark patches. Hopefully this means that the surface will be interesting to look at and study, and not just some undifferentiated, cratered grey rock. I also like this picture because it gives a pretty clear indication of how much darker Charon is than Pluto, another indication that we're actually going to visit two quite different worlds, not just one. If the origins of Pluto and Charon are quite different, that should lead to some more interesting science on the origin of these bodies and of the solar system in general - but perhaps some more cosmology / geology minded goons can comment more intelligently on this point. 21 days, 23 hours, 48 minutes to go.

I was wary of googling "titan probe" but the results were mostly sfw

They think Pluto has a faint ring system too. Everything orbiting Pluto is more interesting than Pluto itself. edit: I think I remember reading somewhere that scientists are predicting that Pluto will probably look a lot like Neptune's moon Triton. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks won't we? spasticColon fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Do It Once Right posted:I fully and shamefully admit my bad math - The pluto probe is about to accomplish its scientific goal for less than 0.5% of the cost of a jet that still doesn't work, can't fly, bursts into flame, has firmware which won't fire its ordinance, a helmet which suffocates its pilot, cannot endure lightning(lol), needs a special runway to take off of so it doesn't melt the asphaltic concrete, and a million other problems. The total cost of building a Standford Torus space habitat that would be capable of housing 10,000 residents and be a milestone for further exploring, colonization, and exploitation of the solar system was to be an optimistic $43.1 billion in 1975-1977 dollars. In 2015 dollars, that's $169 billion dollars.

Why is space exploration always the one thing that gets compared to fixing the world? What about like ice cream How many millions could be fed for all the money spent on manufacturing ice cream and ice cream product development? We do a billion things that are not fixing the world but unless it's space exploration nobody's arguing that we should stop doing them because of that.
