To my fellow lemmonades,

As your not-so-humble moderator of !spaceexploration@sopuli.xyz , I ask you to help save the New Horizons project which is threatened with shit-canning from NASA.

New Horizons is the probe that flew by Pluto a few years ago, that took the famous picture of Pluto’s heart. It’s also the only probe we have out there by Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, and the only one slated to be sent out for 20-30 years. For us millennials, we’ll be in our 60’s or 70’s by the time they choose to send another if they’re allowed to shut down New Horizons. Meaning we might never get to see new Pluto pics again.

Pluto’s heart cries out for your love. For New Horizons’s love.

Our cell phones the world over cry out for new Kuiper Belt wallpapers.

Our hearts cry out for more space content!!

Please sign the petition to save our probe so we can keep getting sweet, sweet Pluto and Kuiper Belt object pics.

Thank you for your time.

SIGN HERE FOR FREEDOM. SIGN HERE FOR JUSTICE. SIGN HERE TO MAKE SURE NASA GIVES US MORE SWEET SWEET SPACE PORN!


P.S. Pluto is still a planet; I don’t give a flying fuck what NGT says

P.P.S. Here are some news articles talking about it. I might have already linked one but here it is again just in case:

    Yeah, there should be at least 13 planets including the ones you mentioned, Vesta, Ceres, and more.
