Good morning, and thank you for your counterpoint. The only part of what you wrote I totally agree with is cancelling or blocking because of something we don't agree with is not the answer. However, there is also a statement in your reply I was very surprised to hear, and here it is as quoted...

I think everyone needs to take a hard look at using another platform besides Twitter. Just today (May 18, 2023) there is another story of Musk and his antisemitic posts adding to all of the other vile posts he constantly makes. And no one will do anything about it. This is hate speech, I thought...

The problem with your theory starts with Musk not being the founder of Tesla. He had money to invest, then when he wanted more credit for things he had nothing to do with, he decided to steal the company from the original founders. Second, do you really believe Tesla is here to save the world...

Thank you for your replies, Bill.

It seems I have not read about this mission in enough detail, as this is the first I have heard it will take 8 years to reach Jupiter. Has this time-frame been discussed in detail before this article?

Well, this was disappointing, as the question from the title was not answered. It was left as, "we don't know".

Hello, Dr. Joe, I just read today's Space Dot Com article about the planet Smertrios and it's suprisingly heavy elements in its atmosphere, according to the JWST. I am wondering why there are two descriptors for this planet: 1. It is called a "hot Jupiter" in more than one point of the article...

Hello everyone, new member as of this morning. I just saw the announcement of the DVD set coming in April, "The Center Seat" Star Trek series, and I have questions. Mainly, who decided on the content and which characters would be included as the main figures for the DVD promotion? The...
