#PPOD : Dark Moon, Bright Spray

Saturn's moon Enceladus was caught spraying icy vapor into space from its south pole. Image taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on May 2, 2012.

Without having mapped the Kuiper belt we are still discovering

MIchael Ford The SETI Institute Cassini NASA Space Science Inst Dude, how can that be the first thing you say,
After a picture of Pan?

Let's zoom in...

MIchael Ford The SETI Institute Cassini NASA Space Science Inst My only response after the subject of Pan is raised, can only be, yeah,
But,
Hyperion

The SETI Institute Cassini NASA NASAJPL Caltech Space Science Inst Jason Major That's because moons are mostly gas. Sheila told us so.

The SETI Institute Cassini NASA Space Science Inst What about earth's sistet venus which if memory serves is in green house hell. Is there any science on fixing it before or while we try fixing earth's 2ⁿ.

MIchael Ford The SETI Institute Cassini NASA Space Science Inst Uranus and Neptune, nothing.

Not even of Triton

It orbits the wrong way!

It doesn't even get a mention in the top 10

MIchael Ford The SETI Institute Cassini NASA Space Science Inst The Ideology of Capitalism,

Wants to put a price tag, on the knowledge

I have no problem with a competitive market economy

MIchael Ford The SETI Institute Cassini NASA Space Science Inst NASA isn't running out of Space to explore...

But it's budget is getting cut

. :) 🙏🏻

MIchael Ford The SETI Institute Cassini NASA Space Science Inst Then something along the lines of,
Since we lost Cassini, we have had no mission at Saturn

Even with the missions to Juipiter, Juno, JUICE, Europa Clipper,
We have nothing watching
Enceladus

MIchael Ford The SETI Institute Cassini NASA Space Science Inst NASA is trying to return to the moon on a shoestring

Only made possible because of Elon

And NASA has been watching the moon, and crashing into

But it hasn't even landed there for a long time
Over 50 years

Want a Venus terraforming mission
Get NASA a budget

MIchael Ford The SETI Institute Cassini NASA Space Science Inst Not that it's not interesting

It's probably an analog of Proxima B

So

Kinda worthy of cheap study

I say cheap
Because studying an analog here
Is not going to Proxima to study B itself
