Nice! Exciting interplanetary mission!

Do you have plans to bring them home?

At the next opposition. There might not be enough fuel, so I’m sending this thing after them:

I call it the IkeSRU. The plan is to drill for ore and refuel the Duna Explorer if need be, while completing a contract for temperature readings around the moon.

There’s also a satellite that launched earlier on its way, so technically this qualifies as a flotilla. In any case, it was damn expensive to put together.

Yo that first picture is gorgeous

Here have a few that didn’t make the original cut

I think anon was trying to use 'nerd' as an insult, which it should be obvious was not going to work (what are tenses?) but here we are

Do you support separate letters for voiced and unvoiced 'th' sounds? And how do you feel about the overloading of vowels like 'I' (which can make sounds "ih", "ee", or "eye" depending on context.

I propose we also replace the 'sh' digraph with ʃ. The letter 'j' also should replace the digraph 'dg' to represent the sound /dʒ/ (as in "jump", but also "hedge").

Can you point me to the context? I’m not seeing it, so I assume it’s something he posted

What are you two at about now? (if I may ask)

Like if you made an (edited, obviously) video of the whole mission and put it on YouTube I’d watch it

I’m genuinely excited to see how this goes

I’m not ready to mess with video capture software, but rest assured that screenshots will follow. It’s gonna take awhile from them to arrive, though.
