Dig it! Jupiter JUICE

[BlockInlay]

I was informed at work today that a (very minor) component I helped put together a while back will be part of ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer. Scheduled to launch next year to arrive at Jupiter in 2029. It was a very humbling moment for me when I realized something I touched and worked on will be travelling to Jupiter.

By Jove I think you’re right.

I think I’ll be even more jovial if they find an obelisk on Europa.

Remember when 1Tb seemed like an inconceivable amount of memory storage?

When this thing t-bones some alien’s sweet ride and we get eradicated by a death ray in 2031, we’ll all know who to blame—all the buttholes on the forum shooting gadgets into God’s spacey wastes.

I was so elated and got caught up in the euphoria & the moment of the story....I had no part in any of the project.

I did offer the entire space program 'out for coffee' though.

...and I could send you a photo of Blanchard in a space suit holding a B.C. Rich Warlock.
