what makes india being the first nation to land on the moon's south pole even sweeter, is that russia's probe sent there crashed two days before, those losers fucked it at the last moment because they were no match for the skill of india's space agency

the coolest things* that happened in space this week**
*according to me **between january 30th and february 6th
beloved space robot finishes otherworldy scavenger hunt and takes selfie

january 30th after six weeks of collecting rocks and carefully stuffing them into titantium tubes, the mars rover perserverance completed what NASA calls the “first sample depot on another world”, which is probably also the first time these words have been said in that order. in 2027, an ESA/NASA mission will go to mars and collect the samples strewn about the red planet, to answer thee space question there is: aliens? or, to be more specific: aliens...at some point?
green comet comes close to earth and leaves the solar system after being called boring

february 1st while you were (hopefully) trying to catch a glimpse of hauntingly green comet ZTF from your backyard, ESA was trying the same with the most powerful X-ray telescopes ever placed into orbit, XXM-Newton, and found...it to be slightly dull. huh. whatever, it still looks good on pictures. goodbye forever!
cosmic ocean observing spacecraft has to cross an earth ocean first
picture credit: ESA/Airbus
january 6th all packed up for intercontinental instead of interstellar travel, the ESA JUICE mission is headed from france to the korou spaceport. launching in april 2023, the mission is aimed for jupiter’s ice moons (get it now?) - ganymede, callisto and europa - to answer the question and say it with me now: aliens? or, to be more specific: aliens...under the ice?
on top of all that, there were 3 launches carrying 106 space objects, and there were 10 people in space. that’s it bye

I've learned two new things in the past 24 hours and I honestly don't know which is more earth-shattering: carbon was found in the oceans of Europa that might prove the existence of life on other moons and planets, and there is an alternate EU version of Velvet Goldmine that is a few minutes longer than the American version.
Upon further thought, it's obvious to me which will have more impact on my life. I'm just amazed that it's taken me this long to find out about the alternate version, and I really hope I manage to find it!
