Hi. Long time no support. So I was reading this with breakfast and thought it was interesting. Probing the sun next year ? but remember, NASA still gets no support "Parker Solar Probe will swoop to within 4 million miles of the sun's surface, facing heat and radiation like no spacecraft before it. Launching in 2018, Parker Solar Probe will provide new data on solar activity and make critical contributions to our ability to forecast major space-weather events that impact life on Earth. Parker Solar Probe is an extraordinary and historic mission exploring arguably the last and most important region of the solar system to be visited by a spacecraft to finally answer top-priority science goals for over five decades. But we don't do this just for the basic science. One recent study by the National Academy of Sciences estimated that without advance warning a huge solar event could cause two trillion dollars in damage in the US alone, and the eastern seaboard of the US could be without power for a year. In order to unlock the mysteries of the corona, but also to protect a society that is increasingly dependent on technology from the threats of space weather, we will send Parker Solar Probe to touch the sun." solarprobe.jhuapl.edu Thoughts?
Sounds amazing m8 always nice seeing humanity pushing forward and trying to overcome boundaries. Too bad da American flag can't be placed on da sun to keep reminding the world we still da greatest m8
