The mission aims to shed light on how the Earth’s upper atmosphere reacts to the sudden and temporary absence of sunlight.

Put a shield in space to block the Sun and it gets very cold and everything DIES ,D’oh

[spankalib]

1. Egyptian God not named - need to click(bait)...&

2. when the Moon’s shadow eclipses the Sun. (scratching head)

[al baby]

Don’t google “sounding” with out safe search on

[ClearCase_guy]

The mission’s name, APEP, is a nod to the mythological serpent that was believed to be Ra’s eternal adversary, symbolizing the eternal struggle between light and darkness, according to NASA.

I guess we're on the side of the Serpent now. Not a surprise.

[Seruzawa]

The is still a part of NASA that does actual science stuff?

[Pajamajan]

bttt

[KarlInOhio]

Let’s hope they put their DIE hires in the naming and logo departments and leave the rocket science to the qualified.

[HYPOCRACY]

Over/under on number of rockets that blow up on liftoff is 2.

[DouglasKC]

Are these the emps and they’re going to blame the outage on the eclipse?

“symbolizing the eternal struggle between light and darkness”

Seems poetic, to me, and relates nicely to what happens during an eclipse...

NASA Mission name is APEP- serpent deity-ancient Egyptian spirit of evil, darkness and destruction

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Ra vs. Apep.

[Jamestown1630]

Somehow, that doesn’t look ancient Egyptian to me...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

It's a stylized painting of the Egyptian myth.

Is this better?

[Jamestown1630]

I like that one much better. Reminds of St. George sans noble steed...

[xoxox]

“three sounding rockets”.

guess we’ll find out what three sounds like.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Doesn't look like Ra either.

Looks like Bast.

But we can not have the goddess of hearth and home taking down the big bad.

Of course in the story it was the entire group that took him down. Including Set. Because while he did not like his family that much there are worse things in the world then your siblings. Like Chaos.

From Wiki:

'A sounding rocket or rocketsonde, sometimes called a research rocket or a suborbital rocket, is an instrument-carrying rocket designed to take measurements and perform scientific experiments during its sub-orbital flight.'

So, it doesn't seem to be bad writing...
