The Lucifer Project, a new sun for me and you

I don't really get into talking about conspiracy theories here on MPL, mainly because for me to make any informed opinion about them I would need to spend a lot of time researching the subject.

This one is different, it has a spiffy video to show supposedly what happened a few years back.


So the conspiracy is this, the Galileo Space probe was flung into Jupiter, it had plutonium on board, it exploded and left a big black earth sized dot on Jupiter. The second part to this conspiracy theory is that NASA is planning on doing it again with the Cassini Space Probe, it is said to have about 3 times more plutonium on board than Galileo, this time however the target is Saturn. Saturn's atmosphere is almost entirely Hydrogen and the theory is that it will explode like an H-Bomb, a very big one, in effect creating a new sun.

I've only just heard about this and the above is the gist of what I know. If you want to know more about this you could attempt to read through this explanation of the Lucifer project, I didn't, please tell me if it's any good, hehe.

This also has more info about the Galileo Probe Will Galileo Make Jupiter a Star?, which attempts to debunk the theories and seeing it was written for what has already happened, I guess they were right.

Conspiracy theories aye, make great movies, I'd definitely go see this one. I now know why I don't write about them here, they seem to get wildly out of hand with so much information either way, they make for great reading and most of the time long reading.

I had another reason for posting this, I read that the youtube version of the video was taken down by request from NASA, geez more conspiracy theories.
