        I’m going to ignore the obvious Kindergarten joke (which I’ve made myself).

        I would be happy to send a probe to Uranus. We know a lot less about the outer planets bcz we’ve really only done a few flybys of them.

          The kindergarten joke was the entire point of the comment.

          In your rush to get mean dig in on the previous commenter, you willfully misunderstood or misinterpreted their point.

          It’s funny, because things I’ve watched recently have been pronouncing it YOUR-uh-nus, versus your-A-nus. Dunno when we made the change, but 25-30 years ago, it was butthole.

          But jokes aside, I want to see something like the Parker Solar Probe, but out. Fastest thing ever created, by a large margin, and second place is the goddamn manhole cover. I’m assuming the science can’t exactly slingshot something straight out like that, wave to Voyager Uno and Voyager Dos, and see what’s happening.

          I’m no scientist though, but let’s go.
