Europa clipper is in the works, and may launch in 2023 or so. I am also working on a component of this spacecraft.Clipper is cool, and will probably yield some neat surprises, but I mean actually get under that ice. I want to see footage of an alien whale and an alien mega squid fighting yeah that would be incredible. Pretty tough to land there, but not impossible (need lots of Delta v. Getting into Jupiter orbit is much easier). There is a poposed lander to compliment clipper, but who knows how far along that will get.

I am dying for some Europa exploration.

I thought it was pretty cool. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2051879/
Is that the movie where the lander gets dragged down through the ice or something?
Quote from: MrBoom_shack-a-lack on November 19, 2018, 01:40:24 PMIs that the movie where the lander gets dragged down through the ice or something?just in case anyone wants to watch it......yeah....the ending sequence is the lander melting through the ice surface. the final survivor knew she wasn't going to make it back so she chose to broadcast her death back to earth to reveal there was life under the ice.
I think it's meat.
NASA's InSight is landing on Mars today around 12:00 EST.https://mars.nasa.gov/news/8391/nasas-insight-is-one-day-away-from-mars/?site=insight

Quote from: jasc15 on November 27, 2018, 08:33:29 AMSuch a plain picture. Some mechanical stuff and a boring landscape.And then you think that it's ANOTHER PLANET... that we reached through a lander shot from our planet through the nothingness of space to reach Mars.... WOW!!!!

WOW!!!!And to think that we got it onto the surface, autonomously, in one piece after having to slow it down from a top speed of 12,000+ mph.

Watching the live feed of Space X's launch and the falcon 9 just started spinning out of control on re-entry. They killed the feed. This could be a news day

They killed the feed. This could be a news day Interesting. Musk has said it "landed" at sea and is undamaged.I saw a fan video from the sidelines and it looked like a soft touchdown, but there were trees in the way. I couldn't see where it ultimately ended up. SpaceX has been really good about releasing their best footage regardless of the outcome of the event. Hoping for some good footage in the coming hours/days. Also, it wasn't supposed to be a water landing.
^^ Things are definitely brewing at Space X.This is SpaceX’s very first human crewThose pressure suits looks so movie like or something.
