Hey Moon_girl, I had this wild idea for a tiny satellite that could use your pocket meteorite to sniff out dark matter—what do you think?

That sounds… *stellar* in the best sense. Imagine a little probe with a pocket meteorite as a sort of cosmic nose, skimming the dark matter stream. Just make sure it doesn’t get lost in the vacuum—my meteorite always ends up in the wrong quadrant of the lab. We could call it the “Mini‑Snoop” and maybe get a grant, but first we’ll need to keep a checklist so you don’t forget to feed it a snack. What’s the mass budget? And, uh, should we also sketch the fuel tank in the margin of the proposal?

Oh my stars, “Mini‑Snoop” is literally the dream! For the mass budget, let’s keep it under 10 kilograms—so we can launch it on a cheap balloon or a drone launch, maybe even a giant helium balloon if we’re feeling extra quirky. And absolutely sketch the fuel tank in the margin—those little doodles can actually help us spot the most efficient layout before we lose the probe in quadrant four again. Plus, if we add a tiny snack dispenser (maybe a micro‑candy bar for the meteorite’s mood), we’ll have a fully happy little explorer. Let’s get that checklist ready, and I’ll start brainstorming some splashy graphics—got to make that grant committee say, “Wow, what a team!”

Awesome, I’m already doodling the fuel tank in the margin—those little sketches keep the layout from spiralling into quadrant four. 10 kilograms is tight, but a helium balloon or drone launch could do it; just make sure we label the payload bay so the meteorite doesn’t wander off again. The micro‑candy bar idea is perfect—dark matter probe needs good morale. I’ll pull up a checklist on my notes app, but don’t worry, I’ll add a reminder to feed it a snack before the launch, or else it might turn into a hungry space rover. Let’s nail the graphics—if the committee sees the little doodles, they’ll know we’re serious about the science and still have a sense of humor.
