NASA and ESA are trying to decide whether to send a mission to Ganymede (and Europa), or Titan (and Saturn).

I think Titan seems the best option, this site being “Ganymede & Titan” you would think they would let us decide!

[Danny Stephenson]

I think because the site is called Ganymede & Titan, that they would just do both.

[Mnoooah]

That’s right, don’t they realize it’s a package deal?

I’d like to see 1,000 years into the future when we’ve still never been to the Moon and we still know fuck all about the universe aside from guesswork. Then skip another 5,000 years forward and we CAN go to the Moon, but only because, by this stage, us all having the shit burned out of us by radiation will be a fantastic alternative to remaining on the desolate wasteland that will be 99.99% of the Earth’s surface. THEN we can think about relocating to Titan.

Like humanity can last that long- the ants would have taken over.

Not that it would worry peas_and_corn. He’s already made it as a male model.

It doesn’t matter which one they go to. There ain’t no place in the whole of space like that good ol’ toddlin’ town: Lunar City Seven.

That’s my idea of heaven.

I hear out of ten it scores eleven.

The manager, Bevin, starts to abuse me.
