4500 km for those outside the Us.It's going to be within 2800 miles of Jupiter? Did I hear that right?
Just went outside to look at Jupiter. Amazing to think this is happening in the little light blip so far away.
watching now! When is countdown for landing?
The mission is succesful when they reach a stable polar? orbit, maybe in 30 minutes.watching now! When is countdown for landing?
Is the actual Neil Degrasse Tyson in the chat?
They won't land. Orbital insertion starts in 20 minutes. We'll know if it's good enough in 20 minutes after that and then it should burn for another 15 minutes after that.watching now! When is countdown for landing?
That's a lot of rads

Jupiter is a super weapon!
It needed a little of The Rock to seal the deal.Probably after this intense movie trailer.
Damn, this video makes it sound like the odds are pretty stacked against us.
Came to post this lmfao.Are we collecting science now?
Holy cow....Have to wait until August to flip off main engines and start gathering all the Science.
And a bit nerve-wracking if you're NASA. I mean, they say the first pass/orbit will be the most dangerous, but still that has to make them nervous knowing Juno has to stay safe until August.We aren't going to get any information at all until 53 days later? That's kind of a buzzkill.
Nah, the fact that this part is the most critical of the mission makes things exciting.We aren't going to get any information at all until 53 days later? That's kind of a buzzkill.
