The fact that we can facilitate communications with the more remote probes is loving amazing at all. There are a couple of dudes on Twitter that I follow that chase down a lot of those things to pick up the carriers. And it works. http://twitter.com/supertrack_it/status/750437258478620672 http://twitter.com/uhf_satcom/status/750429740448833536 These are amateur dudes doing this poo poo in their backyard with scrounged gear. Can't really decode the data in your radio shed but those carriers are how we find the signal in the first place.

I hope this probe can finally put to rest the notion that going to Jupiter gets you more stupider.

I like how these NASA idiots are bragging about getting their lovely little satellite into orbit around Jupiter when my 12 year old nephew does it all the time on Kerbal space program. It's really not very hard. You turn the ship around and turn on the motor. Way to loving go NASA. You mastered the ability to do a 180 and hit a button.

Why does NASA have so many scientists when they've got computers that can do all the work. Fire them and cut funding to pay for for more important poo poo like fighter jets that can't fly and soldiers to kill children in far away lands.

NASA is a long term project, to potentially find alien children to kill in ever farther away lands. we can not be short sighted!

this is a space thread, so a good place to remind people that we're going to the ISS in 1 hour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdmHHpAsMVw it's fun to watch these live edit: that thumbnail image on the live stream is totally wrong...
