| NASA discovers an interplanetary superhighway networked between planets …again |
About 25 years ago NASA built this space thingy out of duct tape, a speak and spell and a 10 million dollar Kodac camera that was using the gravity of planets and moons to boomerang it around the solar system.
Those fucking show offs at NASA had their math so precise that they had like a four hour window in which to launch the bucket into space if it was going to hit all of its points.
Well it did hit all of its points and it was considered a huge success. Now it seems as if someone has built on to that and figured out that there could exist an interplanetary superhighway out there that was could use to move from planet to planet and save on fuel.
I didn't know this was news.
I thought they figured this shit out when they launched that glorified Hyundai with the camera mounted on its hood into space 25 years ago.
In case you didn't know each planet and moon has five locations in space called Lagrange points, where one body's gravity balances another.
Evidently a spacecraft can orbit at these points while burning very little fuel.
So Martin Lo of NASA drew up a flight path for the Genesis Sun probe and plans to map out a superhighway for the entire solar system.
Mr. Lo told the NASA website: "Designing the Genesis spacecraft's flight path with traditional methods used to take eight weeks - now we design a new flight path in less than a day."
Now NASA is hoping that they can get the funding to build a spacecraft docking and repair station around LaGrange points in space like cosmic gas stations.
No doubt NASA plans on holding the bids to build these floating "stab and grabs" in heavily middle eastern neighborhoods so future space travelers can still get the familiar feeling of home when they pull up to a space dock 40 million miles from earth and see that there is a Arab behind the bulletproof glass there as well. |
