SpaceWordGame

A fun way to get up to speed on space jargon, by proposing better meanings for exciting-sounding words from way way up beyond the atmosphere. There are many fabulous words used in the space business every day -- bring them into your workplace with you, fresh with new meanings, and impress your co-workers. With a nod to Douglas Adams and John Lloyd who did something much more powerful for placenames, this was inspired by The Snowball Herminator, who takes all credit and no responsibility.

Kuiper belt

The Kuiper Belt is somewhat related to the Oort Cloud, which featured in the second ever post here. The Kuiper Belt is somewhat closer, and is a disk full of comets and other junk that lies between 30 and 50 AU from the Sun. This is close enough to include the former planet Pluto.
