." In some cases, it feels impossible to avoid sounding risqué, even if you try.
"Ultimately the public pays the vast majority of this work," Arridge said. "The public is invested and the public is a major stakeholder. So it's a little bit symbiotic. If your stakeholder thinks it's a big joke, I think that can be a concern for some people." "The really serious thing is that I do think it could hamper our ability to get a mission to this planet," she added. "I don't think that's insurmountable, but it's something that we worry about. Maybe we'll just go to Neptune so we don't have to worry about the whole thing."
"That argument, I dislike," Hofstadter continued. "I will accept any scientific argument that says 'oh if you want to study an ice giant, Neptune is more important because of dot dot dot,' and the answer is usually [its moon] Triton. That's an argument that I can accept and respect. But to say that I'm going to choose a mission to Neptune over a mission to Uranus just because of the name, I don't think that's a good reason.
