<NASA PR Crew> "Just call it Science because they won't understand."
Are we collecting science now?
Came to post this lmfao.
They also do raids thereThat's a sweet control room.
I'm sure NASA has a ton of BoobTube streamers.Where is NASA's twitch stream?

Jk
And scientific papers won't be published until years after that!We aren't going to get any information at all until 53 days later? That's kind of a buzzkill.
Gaf Mods have a similar room for when they ban users.
We gon science the shit outta Jupiter soon. Jupiter is not ready for this science.

Those two are totally nailing each other.
Something like that, yeah.So realtime this thing finished like 10 minutes ago but we won't know it survived for about 45 minutes, right?
Ha, yeah. Jupiter's huge. A tiny spacecraft would generally look like that against any planet.Man Juno looks STUPID CLOSE to Jupiter in NASA's app.
Why is the sun hot from the earth then?So, silly question.. space is cold right? How is heat such an issue? I'd imagine any thermal radiation/heat gets absorbed by the void pretty damned fast.
My complete un-scientific and bullshit guess is that space is cold because it is (mostly) a void with no matter to absorb and hold heat. But if you're Juno out there and you get close to something pumping out heat like Jupiter itself, you're a craft with matter that can take in that heat...? I dunno.So, silly question.. space is cold right? How is heat such an issue? I'd imagine any thermal radiation/heat gets absorbed by the void pretty damned fast.

Rick Nybakken: "Right now it looks like the main engine is just doing great."
Indeed. I would have loved a complete video of the JOI. Still, we'll be getting some amazing shots in the future.It's really a shame they had to turn off the camera.
Jupiter is HUGE.
It was about 11,000 miles from it at orbital insertion. A little more than this.

Space can be extremelly hot or extremelly cold.
Yeah, Its weird, but heat is still transferred. Edit: Crap, This was wrong.Well the sun is an ongoing thermonuclear bomb, Juno is a little spacecraft with batteries and a mini reactor (I assume).
It just baffles me that stuff like firing an engine still makes metal red hot in space etc... since my understanding of space is that it's as close to absolute zero as possible.
So my bullshit guess wasn't too far off? Maybe?Regarding heat and stuff in space:
There's nothing to conduct the heat from hot to cold, even if space itself is close to absolute zero. Hence the problem of building up heat and the need to radiate it out somehow.
No reactor, actually. Hence the giant solar panels. In fact, the battery dies if it doesn't reorient itself properly post-JOI burn.Well the sun is an ongoing thermonuclear bomb, Juno is a little spacecraft with batteries and a mini reactor (I assume).
Heat is still heat. That energy goes somewhere.It just baffles me that stuff like firing an engine still makes metal red hot in space etc... since my understanding of space is that it's as close to absolute zero as possible.
