While NASA proposes a mission to Neptune's moon, Triton, which could have an ocean capable of supporting life, researchers believe Neptune and Uranus are composed "primarily" of a strange form of water.

“Water. I hate to tell them my Uranus is mostly composed of gold...kinda brown...nuggets.”

That might have been funny if FR was loaded with 8 year olds.

Finding out if there is water on some distant planet’s moon or whatever has no practical use to improve status of humanity on planet earth.

But the effort supports lots of highly paid jobs at tax payer expense. It is worse than that, out treasury is big time in a hole, so we do all this research with borrowed money.

I hear you. The Uranus jokes stopped being funny for me back in third grade.

Anytime you stick Uranus out there, you’ll get comments. I’d wager everyone here is or was 8 years old. As far as the planets they’re talking about? What kind of strange water? Muddy, green, blue, or just frozen H2O? Oh, maybe heavy water? Let’s go get some. Then we’ll know.

First think I thought of, too. And you can bet 90% of the folks here thought the same.

Finding out if there is land across some distant ocean or whatever has no practical use to improve status of humanity on planet earth.

But the effort supports lots of highly paid jobs at the Queen’s expense.

Well if you’ve been in the Atlantic it looks blue and green in the shallows. Fly over Bear Lake on the Idaho/Utah line it looks like a cross between the two and phosphorescent. If I believed NASA I’d believe in globull warming and green men from mars. So they can get on to their Uranus and get some. Otherwise it’s a guess.

If Uranus is primarily water, you ate at Taco Bell.

It was posted under humor. Too bad you don’t have one.
