It has been determined that Trump is an average unladen swallow travelling northbound at his maximum sustainable speed of -3 Obama-cubits per second in the middle of a class 3 hurricane.

The science is technically just a bit of orbital mechanics at this point, it just swung over and into the insertion orbit as I recall, now we've gotta loop it around a few times to slow it down, in the process learning if the shielding for the electronics is sufficient to hold up to the lethal as fuck magnetosphere of Jupiter.

Did you know: if you could see magnetic fields, Jupiter's would appear larger than the full moon?

Though, it occurs to me that if the moon is full, the Sun is over behind the point of view, so the tail wouldn't be extending off to the right like that.

I'm just a little confused how they can see the world around them in the mirror, but not themselves.

Believe nothing you hear. Or everything. Have fun. Love when?

I frequently use PMs to contact people if I think they would miss a post in the deluge.

cool.
I wonder, did a synthetic stingray killed Steve Irwin?
Only time I've seen a train full of people break out crying was upon learning the death of Steve Irwin

You guys know NASA is running out of plutonium?
I'm thinking of starting a crowd funding website, come on, donate your spare plutonium, it's for a good cause, trust me I'm not just some shady Libyan who wants 6 kilos of plutonium for other reasons and doesn't actually know the difference between pu238 and pu240

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Excuse me sir, is your plutonium ethically sourced and cruelty free?

I think the only unethical plutonium was The Demon Core.
