Probe to 'Look Inside' Asteroids

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."

And one day in history class we will all learn about the day that NASA went out of business because they spent all of their money on pointless things like this. When they finally finish their research they will wonder what they will actually do with the information and wonder what idiot came up with the idea in the first place.
