laudropb Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Seen this on the national news Charl. Should be very interesting. We might even finally get to know why the Corona is so hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtreemchaos Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 thanks John, its took a long time coming, but in my view it like sciences = to looking into the eyes of god, without getting too over dramatic, it will hopefully conferm what we know and show us much more that we don't. charl.

sheeprug Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I found myself coming over all Pink Floyd - Set the controls for the heart of the sun... But seriously, great mission, and some great science to come! SR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jACK101 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I believe they are sending it at night to get over the temperature problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenous Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Another good name for this probe might have been "Disaster Area" (OK maybe not.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bejay1957 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Those of us of a certain age are probably thinking about Thunderbirds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop1 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I'm just thinking it is either the Chuck Norris of space probes or, for the cycling initiated, the Jens Voigt of the space exploration community. Like you charl, I can't wait to start seeing the product of this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnfosteruk Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 This announcement puzzled me, I'm sure I read about it in AN a few months ago. I suppose it's no puzzlement really, I take it this was just the big public reveal but those in the know get to know a while before hand while it's still in the early planning stages. Either way this is going to be up there with the most exciting NASA missions for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave In Vermont Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I can't resist re-telling this old chestnut: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "We are going to send men to land on the Sun!" "But won't they burn-up?" "Don't worry! They'll land at night." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I'll go back under my rock.....
