Thankful #23: Uranus


No one is more thankful for Uranus than I am. I am so thankful for Uranus that I would explore it without protection, even if it meant risking my life. If I had my way, I would begin by orbiting the outer and inner rings, gently probing each one as I make my way in. I would make sure there is not too much (or too little) friction, controlling my velocity as I move back and forth, thrusting deeper and deeper to the center warmth of Uranus. I go on, too fast, too hard, too deep, internal combustion too great, before finally exploding all over Uranus.

the twin probes headed for Uranus.
