Dat gotta be Kuwaiti oil fields .
Spent the night sleeping in the driver's seat of our hummer facing the oil fields. Woke up every couple 15 minutes or so to see an ever-increasing number of fires off in the distance as the Iraqis were blowing up the wells. Come morning, wind was pushing a wall of oil smoke across the horizon from ground level up to the clouds. Moved up into that shit and you couldn't see the vehicle ahead of you. Still have some chocolate-chip cammies somewhere with speckles of that oil on them.
You sure you want to know the answer to that?The fuck is on the couch???
Oh shit. We aren't going to start that boat horsepower argument up again are we?
WE ARE ALREADY ON OUR WAY THERE...
And we will beat the ChiComs to it.
On October 14, 2024, the NASA Europa Clipper, an unmanned space probe packed with next generation technology, thundered off 39-A at Kennedy on a SpaceX Falcon Superheavy and is slated to reach Jupiter's moon Europa in 6 years. The Clipper will perform 29 flybys of the Jovian system and orbits of the moon, taking detailed electronic surveys into it's geographical features and use a wide range of EM radiation emitters to probe the ocean that covers the moon up to 100 miles deep. It is NOT a lander, nor will it deploy robot craft to take physical samples for a return journey, but it will be a significant leap forward since the Voyager and Galileo probes started sending back first images of the Jovian system from up close decades ago with the camera tech available at that time. The proposed lander, driller and submarine robot that the Chinese Space Agency and a handful of state-supporting private tech firms had declared to start construction on since 2021 has not yet been assembled nor even has an actual working blueprint.
