Parker Probe Ping!.................
It’s still ticking.
Next stop the Planet Uranus.
The Sun sun exclusive reporting!
Live from the Sun!...............
Johnny on the spot, you!
Close up pictures of the sun or it didn’t happen... :)
How apropos 😉
You must be from Missouri
How is an inanimate object “daring”?
Sorry, they went by at night.................
“You must be from Missouri.”
No, I just do not trust government. They are thieves. They would invent this whole “expedition” just to steal money and use it somewhere else. Beginning to end the whole mission might be fiction.
There is absolutely no reason they cannot take a few image shots of the Sun while it is there. They have been doing it with probes for decades. Why would they purposely miss such a great opportunity for images? If it is real they wouldn’t!
So if there are no images it never happened. Would they do this? You bet... I’ll believe it is not a scam when they show pictures that only the probe could have taken from a close flyby.
“Sorry, they went by at night.................”
Oh damn..... They couldn’t even time it right... lol
when it comes to the sun, what more information could they possibly get flying that close that they couldnt get at 10 miles away?? but i’m surprised nothing melted. I assumed the sun was hot enough to melt anything that came 1000 miles close to it...
It was made of extremely exotic metals that could withstand the temps.
That the electronics survived is quite an accomplishment..............
Stars... they only come out at night.

No signs of life on the surface have been reported but they haven’t checked the interior. And we’ve been worried about a secret Nazi moon base...
Yea, I really had to stretch for that one!
Openurmind, thanx for your lead in! Actually, it was almost to easy.
Thus Guy is perhaps more naturally amenable than you to the notion that the Parker Probe is legit and survived the close fly-by to the Sun (at 430,000 mph!).
Heat shield technology is incredibly impressive these days. Being on the “cool” side of (i.e., behind) a properly-designed and -constructed heat shield, you (if you are an intricate mechanical or electronic device onboard the main Parker Probe spacecraft) might not even guess at the scale of the pyrotechnics happening mere feet away.
