NASA Plans To Send Legos To Jupiter
NASA is sending Lego figurines on its mission to the planet, Jupiter. The figurines are of Jupiter, the Roman god, Juno, the goddess of Rome, and Galileo, the astronomer. Jupiter has a lightning bolt, Juno has a magnifying glass, and Galileo has a telescope. The venture is a joint educational outreach partnership between NASA and the Lego Group.
The spacecraft is named Juno. Its mission is to find clues about the origin of the universe. Juno, the spacecraft, will leave the earth on Friday at 8:30 a.m. local time.
I think it is symbolic that NASA’s new mission to Jupiter has a spacecraft named Juno and that there are figurines of Jupiter, Juno, and Galileo. These names and figurines symbolize the raising of mankind up to a deity on the altar of science. All of life on earth has been reduced to a test tube. Scientists try to explain every happening as a random event. They try to take apart life and reinvent it. The examples would be cloning life and the Human Genome Project that is identifying human genes. I think that people are not good or wise enough to create life. People can’t get along well enough to end wars and are too selfish to help others without wanting something back in return.

Bad headline – the plural of Lego is still just “Lego”, not “Legos”.
I am shocked to hear that the Obama Administration is engaging in a flagrant violation of the “Establishment Clause” of the 1st Amendment by supporting religion, in this case Roman Paganism.
Great story, NASA’s working around their budget cuts. No expensive astronauts to train. Lego’s are so much cheaper to train. But, who’s paying for the Lego’s set to build a rocket…and have they done research to ensure that the plastic doesn’t melt on takeoff?
Well, you can bet that if NASA has it’s way this little stunt will cost a billion dollars for the Lego bricks alone.
Another fantastic way to spend a lot of money on useless missions.
Did you really just make the leap from legos on a probe to delusions of godhood? Articles and authors such as this are the reason for the quotations around Internet “journalism.”
Keep up the bad work, Kerin!
Was this article written by a 12 year-old brainwashed by religious fundamentalist dogma? ‘Cuz it sure reads that way.
