Another fun fact, everyone reading this thread right now will almost certainly be dead before it does make its full orbit in 2172.

Life extending technology? Cryosleep? Maybe some billionaire teen authoritarian prince who'll have their organs swapped out when they get old is reading this?

I unno man, that's a long time for science.

The NASA mission I'm most hyped for is Dragonfly. Planned 2027 launch to Saturn's moon Titan (will arrive in the early or mid 2030's, I'll be like 37 or 38 years old by then and I'm 26 now).

It's a helicopter drone that'll fly around on Titan.

After that, I think in the 2030's or 2040's they're planning on sending a lander to Venus that'll take pictures of it's surface as it's falling through the atmosphere. It's like a big metal orb looking thing
