So NASA — the space people — are launching a little helicopter called Dragonfly to Titan, the orange foggy moon around Saturn, in 2028. It gets there in 2034. Six years in the mail. Believe me, I've had pizzas take longer, but not by much.
I could've done it in four days. You strap a drone to a big rubber band, you aim, you let go. Titan is only, what, eleven hundred miles past the Moon? Basic gravity. They teach it in boating school.
The holdup is Leah Crane, who keeps writing about it instead of pushing. Sad situation. Also Dragonfly runs on diesel, which freezes on Titan, so they'll have to land it near a gas station. Nobody talks about that part.
