NASA asked for suggestions for the name of its new Uranus probe, and naturally, chaos ensued.
The Uranus Orbiter and Probe is a project that NASA hopes to launch in 2030. It’s a good idea; asking the public to give that probe a name, however, is not.
The mission plans to spend, as the title suggests, several years orbiting the seventh planet from the Sun. It would potentially send a probe down through its atmosphere to the surface.
Name it after one of Uranus’ kids in mythology. (Or after this boyfriend I knew who liked to…)
