LostCosmonaut Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I am extremely excited to potentially have a planet discovered in my lifetime. Is there consensus on whether Planet 9 would be the 5th planet from the Nice Model, or an as yet unknown object (for instance, that formed out of Oort Cloud objects)?

I don't know if there is really a consensus, but Batygin thinks it is unlikely to have formed in place due to the amount of material needed. http://www.findplanetnine.com/2016/08/origins.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostCosmonaut Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 There is now speculation that the surface of Europa could be covered in gigantic spikes of ice; https://www.space.com/42051-jupiter-moon-europa-ice-towers-lander.html They would look similar to (but larger than) penitentes, ice formations found in the Andes caused by differential sublimation in direct sunlight and low temperatures.

I was afraid of that for last few years and now it happened. It was very lucky for those incredible car salesmans in Roskosmos that this failure was without deaths or as far as i know no injuries. Incompetence reached manned flights. Americans! Make your manned space crafts faster! Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostCosmonaut Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 NTRs aren't completely dead BWXT announced last year it had been awarded a USD18.8 million contract from NASA for initial reactor concept development, initial fuel and core fabrication development, licensing support, and engine test programme development. 18.8 million is chump change for spaceflight, but better than nothing.
