When I first clicked on this thread, all the responses looked like they were from another thread. This site is so broken.

<3 I guess I'm playing Kerbal and Mass Effect at some point today.
-
Woo, Science!
-
Hell yeah Now lets get to that Mass Relay out by Pluto.
-
It's been a long road getting from there to here...
-
today is a good day for SCIENCE

Wohooo Hopefully in my lifetime they have these. I love space exploration

Whoop whoop!

I can't believe I'm about to say this but "Thank you Congress." I feel like I need to take a shower now.

Edited by Spade: 7/13/2014 2:19:04 AMThey should have given that to SpaceX. And NASA isn't the only department related to science. If anything giving that money to a medical research center would be a way bigger "day for science". Wait, this thread is old.

mfw the current Congress actually did something right for once

Nice! *Sips Maple Syrup*

This is disgusting. All of that should be spent on military endeavours.

I think it's a big waste of money, because they'll just come across simple forms of life . . And they'll most likely dribble out only a little bit of info on what they actually find, because they have a history of doing such things. Nothing NASA releases to the public should be censored, blacked out, redacted, etc . . They are supposed to be a public agency, not a military agency. If the whole thing was live streamed by a independent source from the launch of the unmanned craft to the last moments it's active on Europa, rather then NASA handling such a thing, then I wouldn't think it would be a waste of money . . But that won't happen . . Why won't it ? Edit = Added Quote to OP's part.

Yay :D I know most of my teachers and other students in my classes would also be happy to hear that.

Yay! Space!! [spoiler]it sounds sarcastic but it's not, I swear[/spoiler]

Europa is a fascinating planet, so this is good news!
-
Sounds like a waste of money.
