In 2017, we discovered exoplanets with conditions totally unsuitable for life, Cassini concluded its mission with a suicidal dive into Saturn, NASA outsourced the processing of stunning images of Jupiter to the general public, astronomers and planetary scientists continued to argue over whether Pluto was a planet, Blue Origin successfully tested an unmanned Crew Capsule and not one single SpaceX rocket blew up. ISRO accomplished the impressive feat of launching a very large number of very small satellites, indefinitely extended the life of its Mars mission, laid the groundwork for its future "workhorse" rocket and contributed resources for studying an explosive event that unleashed 10,000 Earth masses of gold into the infinite blackness of space.
