The ESCAPADE mission is built on the same architecture that will be used for Rocket Lab's Venus Lifefinder mission, a (mostly) private mission currently set to launch in 2026. Lifefinder will seek evidence that life could exist in Venus's clouds. 🔭🧪

Last I checked, though, Comet K1 ATLAS was also not an alien spaceship. So they have that in common.

Correction! I got the wrong comet here. The image shows Comet K1 ATLAS, not interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS. More about the real comet at the link.
Thank you to the gentle folks who corrected me so nicely.

Boy those alien spaceships sure do have shoddy workmanship.
Joking, people. But more seriously, this is a smart analysis of the way that people will appeal to authority or ridicule appeal to authority, depending on what they want to believe.

Comet ATLAS is unusual in many ways, as you'd hope & expect for an interstellar comet. There's a lot to learn here.
But for those who keep seeing the "is it a spaceship?" stories: No, there's zero evidence it's anything other than a natural object. 🧪🔭

Historians are still decoding the complex calendar system in the Dresden Codex. Who knows what information was in the many other lost Mayan manuscripts.
All of this was done using centuries of carefully recorded, naked eye observations. 🧪

The visible colors of the rainbow correspond to radiation with wavelengths from 400 to 750 nanometers.
The colors in this image are a direct analog, but translated into radio wavelengths (in this case, 1.3-4.2 meters).
