Messenger Spacecraft Prepared for Mercury
An anonymous reader writes "NASA's first orbiter to the planet Mercury is shown today in cut-away, revealing the parasol design that will protect it from intense heat. Twenty layers of aluminized Kapton will be its sunshade. Curiously since the innermost planet is so close to the Sun, the Mercury mission itself will look for (cometary) water-ice preserved on the less baked north pole."
Make your lame-ass comments about WMDs on mercury and Bush and oil and blah blah.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
And Jesus!
Would you also write him an IOU:+1 I Want To Suck Your Dick ?
The ultimate goal for all space science is to give us the means to colonize other planets.
And by we I specifically mean white people. That way we can leave this whole planet to the muds so they can develop their "hip hop" and ghetto "culture." Who knows, in one million years the Africans might even develop a written language of their own.
