They rename Uranus in the 2600s to get rid of that joke.
It will be known as Urecktum.

NASA is about to send people to the moon — in a spacecraft not everyone thinks is safe to fly

The issue relates to a special coating applied to the bottom part of the spacecraft, called the heat shield. It's a crucial piece of hardware designed to protect the astronauts from extreme temperatures as they're descending back to Earth during the final stretch of their moon-bound mission called Artemis II.

This vital part of the Orion spacecraft is nearly identical to the heat shield flown on Artemis I, an uncrewed 2022 test flight. That prior mission's Orion vehicle returned from space with a heat shield pockmarked by unexpected damage — prompting NASA to investigate the issue.

Apollo 1 and Challenger astronauts didn't burn to death for us to be giant pussies in 2026, Lockheed Martin's got this it's gonna be fine.

Ive always liked the "would the ants notice the road next to the ant hill?" question.

We could have shipping lanes going right through our local solar system (cough* 3I atlass) and just assume it's some natural thing.
