I’m hoping it’s a very successful mission.

I hope they succeed, as well, but I think they might not. Their plans are to anchor the lander into what they anticipate to be a soft ice surface. . . they may again be in for a surprise, astonishment, and shock when the surface turns out to be hard rock, impenetrable by the harpoon anchors. They might just bounce off.

Well .. that’s what exploration is all about.

You take risks to see if you guess correctly.

That’s exactly what our forefathers did, when they stocked a boat and sailed across the ocean, unsure if the earth was round, or they would fall off into an abyss.

But, God placed this planet in the most perfect spot in the universe. It was perfect because, if we were just a few degrees closer to the Sun we would burn up .. and if we were a few degrees farther away from the Sun, we would be a frozen nothingness like Mars.

This planet was also in the most advantageous spot in the universe, in order TO EXPLORE THE REST OF THE UNIVERSE. I can’t help but wonder if GOD is watching to see if we accomplish our goal.
