After @neosapien posted that seriously cool Crew Dragon thread, I became slightly motivated to have an “astronomy and spaceflight”-themed thread in T&T.

Today I found the article that moved me to start the thread. Venerian microbes ... how cool would that be?

So no new Carrington events for a while.

I guess global warming, pandemics, super hurricanes and the west coast burning extra crispy will be enough to cope with for the next 11 years, right?
