Die NASA gibt offiziell grünes Licht für eine 3,35-Milliarden-Dollar-Mission zum Saturnmond Titan und verpflichtet sich zu einem revolutionären Projekt zur Erkundung des größten Saturnmondes mit einer Quadrocopter-Drohne. Dragonfly wird Titan etwa drei Jahre lang erforschen und nach Biosignaturen suchen, die Hinweise auf Leben sein könnten

Sick. First mission I’ve been excited about in a long time
A lot of money just to find out there is no life there, but it’s an exciting mission none the less.
Europa or Enceladus would be a better choice, but a submersible mission like this would be almost impossible with the technology we have right now.
We are not going to find bio markers, but I guess we got the funding, so that’s cool.
The proposal should be “we’re going to take high definition videos of flying around in a place with lakes and rivers and rain! And it’s going to be fucking awesome!”.
