Comments

1. Kairomano: apparently we're not even done messing up Earth before sending a probe to Mercury's doorstep
2. Falkaria: Not exactly a mission I'm following closely, but still impressive given all those years of planning and execution. Guess my mind keeps wandering to who designed that lovely retroreflector on board
3. Novakamir: somewhere along the way, we lost interest in sending humans to other planets
4. Kian: Mercury? Again with the tiny planets. Can't they just send a probe to Mars where something actually exists? 🚀
5. Halcyon Shard: finally, something's getting close to actually answering some real questions about our solar system's weirdo child
