SaintWacko, in Scientists Have Simulated What It Might Be Like to Plunge Into Uranus

Are we still doing “Phrasing”?

Potatisen, in Scientists Have Simulated What It Might Be Like to Plunge Into Uranus

I wanna do science in your high-temperature plasma tunnel.

floofloof, (edited )

You’ll have to buy me dinner first.

Potatisen,

Lol

LastYearsPumpkin, in Scientists Have Simulated What It Might Be Like to Plunge Into Uranus

This study was done entirely for the title.

Pietson,

I swear to god whenever there's a story about Uranus, it's like a competition just started for best title

trash80, in Scientists Have Simulated What It Might Be Like to Plunge Into Uranus

Using a high-temperature plasma tunnel, scientists have discovered what it might be like to plumb the depths of Uranus.

Sure, we know it would be smelly; but there are other considerations that need to be taken into account when designing a probe that can withstand the rigors therein.

KISSmyOS,

Now that the experiments have been successfully performed, researchers can use the information acquired to develop the sensors that will measure the ice giants’ atmospheres as they plunge into the mysterious depths. Of Uranus.

They knew.

Must've absolutely made the writer's day.

They created atmospheric analogs using mixtures of gasses similar to those found on Neptune and Uranus, and subjected their probe to equivalent speeds up to 19 kilometers per second.

now that's a wind tunnel, wow

Exsqueeze me?

TheCaconym, in Scientists uncover aurora-like radio emission above a sunspot

Someone on Earth has decided to call the Trisolarans, major mistake

Jiggle_Physics, in Earth Has Received a Message Laser-Beamed From 10 Million Miles Away

A laser beam we fired in an experiment with very long distance communications tech.

Thanks. That has to be one of the most clickbait titles I've ever seen.

This is the equivalent of scientists trying to find this weird space signal only to find out it was the microwave

hperrin, in Earth Has Received a Message Laser-Beamed From 10 Million Miles Away

Correct me if I’m wrong, but ten million miles is like, not even to Mars. That’s not very far away.

spudwart, in Earth Has Received a Message Laser-Beamed From 10 Million Miles Away

Terrible misleading headline.

The headline is trying to imply to those not in the know that we received communication from aliens.

This was never even close to what happened.

NASA was testing a method of high-speed data transfer for use in the future to expand the internet to other planets.

This is not receiving a message from an alien. This is receiving test packets from us to us.

Truthfully, I weep for whoever will have to play online games in the future through space-internet.

Their ping is gonna be out of this world.

neocamel,

Their ping is gonna be out of this world.

I see what you did there.

Treczoks, in New Evidence: Chinese Rocket And Secret Payload Caused Double Crater on The Moon

Hmm, how much mass would a manned mission have?

Ilovethebomb,

As amusing as the idea is, I doubt China would launch a manned mission and not tell anyone.

Treczoks,

Maybe they wanted to announce it after a successful landing?

NoMoreLurking,

So it’s like a Vladimir Ilyushin kind of thing?

Treczoks,

I would not rule it out.

CluckN, in New Evidence: Chinese Rocket And Secret Payload Caused Double Crater on The Moon

Payload was a giant hole confirmed

XeroxCool,

What can you add to the moon to make it lighter?

moistclump,

Hey guys, get a load of this hole.

ChicoSuave, in New Evidence: Chinese Rocket And Secret Payload Caused Double Crater on The Moon

China: “should we tell anyone that we crashed? No no, it was a secret payload that touched down!”

Yamainwitch, in NASA Requests Funding for $1 Billion 'Space Tug' to Deorbit the ISS

I say give it to them, billionaires today have no class, just take it and give it to our fellow nerds. Problem solved! Elon was going gamble it away anyway.
