spud posted:Are there other uses outside of space travel? I mean for 238, not 239 (I learned about the difference thanks to this thread and am feeling pretty smart right now)? Anything nationally, or even internationally, useful for expensive materials seems a much easier sell than "we need it for our space rocket".

BTW, this NASA's Eyes app is pretty rad. You can use it to watch in realtime to see where Juno is, or to look at the current position of other planets, moons, and spacecraft. I used it last year to watch the New Horizons approach to Pluto and yesterday to watch Juno loop around Jupiter. https://eyes.nasa.gov/eyes-on-juno.html

Frankenstyle posted:Haha, Is that from NASA or the history channel? I love the whole vibe of " Uh-OH...A scary alien could get on board and eat the 486DX". 486dx is generous. For this mission they're certainly using a simpler design so they can have room for radiation resistant circuitry.

Because of Voyager's anatomically correct etchings, the Jupiter alieans have already had years to prepare the optimal methods for raping and torturing us, human upstarts As part of my patriotic duty, to confuse the Jovians, Im gonna cut off my external genitalia, thus throwing off their terror plans

So you guys know that the whole Juno/Jupiter thing is a big nerd joke, right? Like, Juno was Jupiter's wife/sister and she thought he had a harem hidden in his clouds. So all you knuckle heads joking about NASA nerds trying to find exo-pussy are actually dead on.

They should have sent a sound engineer spaceship and a cameraman spaceship to go with Juno because a lot of NASAs public media stuff for plebs like me is "artists impressions". If they had a literal camera probe and sound probe following Juno when she did her work, I would have been more engaged. Still, this was very impressive Juno. Good job and good luck.

If they can send photos of Pluto back to Earth then Jupiter should be relatively trivial.

They should send smaller probes just behind the larger probe so we get some great shots of it burning up on entry/smashing into asteroids and the occasional glimpse of the puppeteer.

All the scientific instruments including the camera were turned off for the orbital insertion. They'll make a close pass over the north pole in 54 days with all the instruments on this time, so we may get some pics then.

thats pretty big, a cell phone version would not work. maybe a camping version would be good, then i could charge my laptop in the woods. maybe power a few lights and the fridge at the cabin? it would really save on gas

For some perspective, here's where Juno is at now, almost a day after the engine burn to enter orbit. This is to scale. It's gonna take almost 2 months to loop back around and complete the first orbit.
