NASA wants to go deeper into Uranus. The proposed mission is literally called the Uranus Orbiter and Probe, which feels less like a space program and more like a sentence everyone in the room was too professional to laugh at. The plan is to send an orbiter around Uranus, then drop a probe into the atmosphere to measure gases, temperature, pressure, and winds (which is what all guys say before going to Uranus). This is only Uranus’s second visit, so NASA promises to be gentle this time. The first time was apparently on NASA’s birthday. Voyager 2 was in 1986, when it flew by, slipped in the back way without permission and left before breakfast. NASA is now eyeing the early 2030s, as it feels Uranus has had enough time to recover. The final date is not confirmed, but the mission is real, the probe is real, and somewhere at NASA, a very serious scientist has to say “deeper into Uranus” without making eye contact.
