From a space.com on-line article published August 24, 2022: "NASA really wants to probe Uranus and could start planning next year."

So here's the question: are you in favor of NASA probing Uranus?

You know you're laughing at it now. Uranus will always be the butt of planetary jokes.

"The planet Uranus has clouds made up of hydrogen sulphide, the gas that gives rotten eggs their unpleasant smell. The possibility of this gas being present in the atmosphere of the seventh planet had long been debated, but has now been confirmed for the first time by observations at a telescope on Hawaii."

49 year old me just had mimosa come out of his nose at this.

Just think how much taxpayer money could be saved if there weren't so many agencies duplicating the same function.

I thought I’d read that astronomers had gotten tired of the Uranus jokes and were planning on changing the planet’s name to Urectum.
