Why send toilet paper to Uranus?
With billionaires chucking cars into space and taking their midlife crises to the moon, we thought it was time to do something truly meaningful. And when we found out the aerospace industry was sending a spacecraft to our #2 favourite planet, we saw an opportunity. Discovering Uranus is literally filled with gas, that just sealed the deal.
Plus it’s a lot more feasible than our first idea – putting our TP in a black hole.
How gassy is Uranus?
Very. It’s one of our solar system’s gas giants, consisting primarily of hydrogen, helium, a little methane, and a teensy weensy trace of ammonia and water. In short, it smells like farts.
How long will it take?
Approximately 9 years, and that’s without bathroom breaks. Uranus is 3.2 billion kilometres (about 2 billion miles) from Earth. It’s the furthest any roll of toilet paper has ever travelled.
What is the spacecraft called?
We are currently crowdsourcing names for the spacecraft on our Instagram page. You can submit your ideas in the comments. Our personal favourites right now are High Plyer and C.R.A.P. (Cosmic Roll Aerospace Program).
