IS TIME TO GO BACK TO URANUS AND NEPTUNE? REVISITING ICE GIANTS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Universe Today ^ | 30 Jun, 2017 | Fraser Cain

I look forward to all the future missions that NASA is going to be sending out in the Solar System. Here, check this out. You can use NASA’s website to show you all the future missions. Here’s everything planned for the future, here’s everything going to Mars.

Now, let’s look and see what missions are planned for the outer planets of the Solar System, especially Uranus and Neptune. Oh, that’s so sad… there’s nothing.

It’s been decades since humanity had an up close look at Uranus and Neptune. For Uranus, it was Voyager 2, which swept through the system in 1986. We got just a few tantalizing photographs of the ice giant planet and it’s moons....

What’s going here on Triton? Wouldn’t you like to know more? Well, too bad! You can’t it’s done, that’s all you get.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we’ve studied all these other worlds. I’m glad we’ve had orbiters at Mercury, Venus, everything at Mars, Jupiter, and especially Saturn. We’ve seen Ceres and Vesta, and the Moon up close. We even got a flyby of Pluto and Charon.

As one of the gas giants, does uranus emit smelly gases?

As part of their moslem outreach, will they be seeking out intelligent life in moslem majority countries? Instead of SETI, SMTI perhaps? </sarc>

What happened? The bumper stickers said Earth First.
I thought we were going to strip mine the other planets later!?

“Quit probing Uranus.”

Apparently you’ve never had sore, swollen bleeding hemorrhoids. Preparation H is your friend.

Quit probing Uranus.

Somewhere a 6-year-old child is giggling.

"IT'S TIME TO GO BACK TO URANUS AND NEPTUNE"

Okay! But what's the verb "NEPTUNE" mean?
