thejazz97 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The Earth saucer passes down the solar system to Mars! Mars, on a breakaway! Closing in on Jupiter, he shoots, he scoooooooores!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 it's just to let people know that the tests will be broadcast live in 34 min on that u-stream. the discussion, of course, will happen afterwards. another possibility is that NASA Jet Propulsion Labs is pulling an april fools joke a day early...

avelanch Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 apparently it's just a supersonic decelerator to deliver heavier layloads to mars. not a flying saucer. it just looks like one. still cool, and another step towards mars colonization, but not what was promised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
