Cheap Trip to Neptune? Just Use Triton As A Brake Pad

#shorts #scinews #science news #science #science max #Neptune #Triton #atmosphere #spacecraft #mission #orbit #gravity #slow down #cheap #flyby Good evening, I’m Aria. Researchers say they’ve found a crazy cheap way to send a mission to Neptune. Just use its moon Triton as a giant atmospheric brake pad! Sweep through its thin air with a parachute to slow down, then get sucked into Neptune’s gravitational pull. What could go wrong? I mean, the timing has to be perfect, the approach angle just right, and the spacecraft can’t burn up or fly off into space. But tickets to Neptune are hard to get, so why not roll the dice? Hey, even a crash landing on Triton would make for some far out selfies. Scientists estimate this hack could cut travel time from decades to just 15 years. Still no word on the in-flight movie though. Probably Cats.
