Turds in Spaaaaaaace
Japan’s Hayabusa2 probe sent home this picture of a near-earth asteroid. They weren’t expecting to get images anything like this good. Lead scientist Yuya Mimasu said he was “absolutely over the moon” – which I think is a hilarious way for an astrophysicist to put it.
He thinks it looks like a snowman. I’d say two Ferror Rochet chocolates stuck together. Or, you know, a turd.
Joking aside, this stuff blows me away. Like all the amazing footage of the surface of Mars. Like, holy shit – that’s Mars!
Somebody pointed out the Mars is a planet in our solar system populated entirely by robots.

A turd?! Wow, SOMEBODY’s on a seriously high-fiber diet!
Reminds of when I was a youngster and Mom would tell me to eat my roughage.
