In a surprise announcement that has rocked the astronomical community, the tiny principality of Elbownia announced today that it will launch its own probe to the Sun and beat the proposed NASA probe by at least five years. Not only that but the probe will only cost three dollars to build. The NASA probe is expected to cost over 100 million dollars due to the huge cost for the ceramic heat shield.
The National Elbownian Rocket Development Society explained the discrepancy between the cost of the two programs. "The stupid Americans are spending all of their money on heat shields. We are going to go at night!".
