I was going to write about how the Day of Rage seems to have failed except for some small isolated incidents around the world. I guess even the Muslims are sick of billionaires telling them what to do. Plus, based on the amount of mean Anonymous comments I've had lately, I get the feeling I am pissing off the masses with my tiny little blog. It is what it is.
Then I saw this headline:
NASA Is Launching a Mission to a $10 Quintillion Metal Asteroid Today - The 16 Psyche mission will provide invaluable insight into the mysterious metal world and how such objects form.
It reminded me of when we were kids and we would tell some outrageous thing to one of our friends, just to mess with them. Then when they believed us we would say “Psych”! Everyone would laugh, cuz it was pretty funny.
NASA remembers those days fondly. First they are telling us there is an asteroid named Psyche (pronounced Psy-Key) worth 10 Quintillion dollars (that's a one with nineteen zeros) – because it is completely made of metal. On Friday the 13th (last week) the mission to go to this metal asteroid, also called Psyche, launched without a hitch. The symbol of the mission is purple and orange and Psyche is also the name of the Greek “goddess of the soul”.
Here is a very quick video – pay attention to the picture of the probe starting at :49 seconds.
It's a black cube literally covered in
flimsy black plastic. I didn't realize that trash bags held up that
well in space. If NASA said it and spent 960.6 million
of our taxpayer dollars, then it must be true and work as advertised.
Funny, what number do you get if you turn the 9 upside down? Yep. And
if you believe this whole thing is real...
Psych!

They are going to pick up space trash out to the asteroid, you know, envirospace ecowarriors and need the bags to hold trash. Was that a short vid of the boosters returning and landing just before Trashbag 1 made it's appearance?
yeah - perfect landing on those boosters too. wow we are so advanced...rolls eyes
You have been rather free with discussing your residency, even to the point of informing us of a recent move.
You boldly go where in a free country you have every right to go. But dang it woman, you can’t point out that the space agencies lie to us. You’re going to disturb the egghead maph people, the Star Trek fans, a bunch of .gov agencies and worse, Igor. The is no topic taken more seriously than penis shaped objects thrusting deep into the…………. firmament ( except maybe the flat earth ) than trips to space. These people will come after you. I mean in the physical sense. You think anonymous trolls on your blog are bad, oh you’re in the crosshairs now. My advice, move. No, run !!!! Leave now and don’t bother packing, just run. Your buddy, Kevin with his 960 quintillion advanced psych degrees not to mention an equal amount of them in behavioral sciences will agree. Don’t wait to ask him, he’s busy either walking the dog and flirting with the old lady neighbors, or studying for another degree. Just run.
come and get me space boys! I not skeered
