Welcome to the Trojans, Lucy 🛰️✨ Love that these asteroids gather in two swarms, one leading Jupiter and one trailing it in the same orbit, and Lucy's long looping path is set to visit both. Fittingly, they're named after heroes of the Trojan War 🏛️

And just what is there in this spacecraft the will benefit mankind, that will justify the cost of putting it into space.

Reaching the Trojans after 2.2 billion miles is amazing, since those asteroids are leftover building blocks from the early solar system. As a Navy sub vet, I have a soft spot for a mission that patiently logs years in the dark before delivering.

A five-year journey to asteroids that preserve clues from the solar system’s earliest days—Lucy is giving us a chance to read our origins in the rocks.

Another $1billion taxpayer-funded boondoggle for disconnected academics.
