@themonkeycage @ProfBrianCox @BBCSounds Try pogoing in zero gravity. 😉

@ProfBrianCox @themonkeycage @BBCSounds All these worlds are yours. Except Europa Attempt no landing there

@themonkeycage @ProfBrianCox @BBCSounds A fascinating mission.

@ProfBrianCox @themonkeycage @BBCSounds Utter nonsense. Space fantasist.

@themonkeycage @ProfBrianCox @BBCSounds Einstein: Genius, Imbecile Or Fraud? Thinking the farthest known galaxies ages are 26.6 billion light-years from Earth is no different than thinking your local Walmart was built 10 minutes ago cause it took you 10 minutes to drive there :-).

@ProfBrianCox @themonkeycage @BBCSounds So exciting!

@themonkeycage @ProfBrianCox @BBCSounds How can this be do you time travel ?

@themonkeycage @ProfBrianCox @BBCSounds That’s a challenge. How do the scientists figure out a way to drill 30km deep on a celestial body so far away without access to a supply chain? Go on, scientists, you good things! 👍🏻
