I hope the research includes finding ways to keep one these suckers from whacking the earth.

I think it’s silly to talk about the asteroid belt and learning about the solar system’s origins. Silly. It’s obvious the asteroid belt and Oort cloud of comets are the remains of an exploded planet. One half of Mercury is as smooth as a baby’s butt, and the other half is pock-marked by impacts— consistent with a sudden explosion. It would also explain where Mars’ atmosphere and water went.

I hope it goes. If not the launch will be delayed for months in order to get the next Mars probe launched within it’s window.

Hopefully they’ll remember to reconcile the measurement units and calibrate the camera focus before launch this time.

And the best part is you don't have to wake up early to see it!

Sunday's launch window will extend from 4:04 to 4:33 p.m. EDT
