[META] Proposal for Season 2: The Great Age of Exploration
 
#3
I like it.

Though exploration of outer space isn't the only sort of exploration there is. I'd just like to make that point. Exploring the limits of what's possible with 'tech, then going beyond into the wave. Speed records, acceleration records, endurance records, strength records and the whole 'Oh my ain't that thing cool' effect of seeing the latest new thing scooting by.

There're so many other things to explore, not just go to distant stars. It's going to be especially fun for those who came up in 2012-14, and missed all the initial bout of 'firsts'.

Meanwhile.

The Shuttle Melchizedek is chartered by James Cameron for two missions, one in 2016 shortly after her launch, and another in 2017. The first is a run to Pandora, during which they run-into (nearly literally) a rogue Jupiter-sized planet which may have been captured by the sun's gravity, and is slowly falling into the Solar System (They name it 'Nostromo' even though that was a Ridley Scott film) . The second mission in 2017 goes to Sirius, and on to a couple of the other nearby stars before scooting home. There's probably another shuttle/ship going with them on that one.

I might expand that Pandora run a little more.... and have to think of Something to find at Sirius.
