kent_white Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Will it just be a fly by though? How does it slow down when it gets there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter White on Tyne Posted April 13, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2016 Will it just be a fly by though? How does it slow down when it gets there? Â Hope it doesn't run aground, like Costa Concordia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted April 13, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2016 Will it just be a fly by though? How does it slow down when it gets there? As its another star system like ours and presumably massive I doubt it would need to slow down and effetively the whole thing is a fly by, or more a fly through, taking "close ups" of the star and however many of the planets orbiting around it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's flying at 20% light speed how will it take pictures? And more importantly - how long will it take for us to get the data back? Edit - just read it would take 4 years to get the data back - although it's being questioned whether it would have the capacity to send a signal which could be picked up over such a ridiculously long distance! Amazing concept though...... Edited April 13, 2016 by kent_white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having 4 legs probably helps. Booted off recently in the Neptune Moon's Premier league when lowly Nereid played away at Triton. Those cunts always punch above their weight - which is maybe no surprise as they weigh a lot more on Triton than they do on Nereid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
