If you could travel to just one place in the universe

At a recent astronomy club meeting, I saw a photo from Hubble - probably the Hubble Ultra Deep Field.

Double-A We could have sent a robotic lander there as of 45 years ago, or anytime since. A manned mission should have taken place as of a couple decades ago, because it's not exactly small or any more invisible than our physically dark moon/Selene. Oops! it wasn't officially discovered until October 10, 1986 How the hell did our Apollo teams of crack wizards and other astronomy freaks manage to miss Cruithne? ~ BG |
