"...Black and Diffuse Auroral Science Surveyor (BADASS)..."

LOL. Is this a hoax? Wao! It's really not fake. I have difficulty imagining NASA engineers in white lab coats with pocket protectors explaining the program to Congress seeking funding. 'We have to get BADASS into space...'

I have never heard of 'black aurorae' before, and I have seen many aurorae.

I really am enjoying your recent focus on science. Please keep it up.

Thanks!
