Probe to 'Look Inside' Asteroids

Posted by simoniker on from the peek-a-boo dept.

bigjnsa500 writes "A new space mission concept by the European Space Agency called Deep Interior was unveiled at a Paris conference earlier this week, according to the BBC. Apparently: 'It aims to look inside asteroids to reveal how they are made. Deep Interior would use radar to probe the origin and evolution of two near-Earth objects less than 1km across. The mission, which could launch some time later this decade, would also give clues to how the planets evolved.' NASA also has a similar concept called Deep Impact."

      I don't understand how this gets modded down as "Offtopic" and the comment right below it, entitled "Probes? Roids?" about Uranus jokes gets a +5 funny. Consistency, anyone?

      And in my opinion, questioning this IS on-topic, seeing how the answer to this question has to do with every topic and every story that Slashdot decides to open a discussion on.

      please don't teach spammers HTML... it only makes them stronger!

      also, when you link, you should always use the a few properties to make it more interesting, like this...

      Rocksec.x obviously made goatsec.x obsolete. Get with the times! If you want you can have goats with nuclear warheads ramming into rocks. That would be some HOT action. *tongue now permanently wrapped around cheek*
