Juno has burned enough to be in orbit, by the way.

Still another 11 minutes to go to make it the expected orbit.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Yeah, I knew it was solar.. don't know why the hell I figured there was a reactor onboard.. to much Kerbal, I guess.

Let's be real though. We all know there's a reactor onboard, in some form, in case Juno runs into hostiles and has to detonate.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Whoa was that really the first footage we've gotten of real time orbits? If I understood the guy correctly. Or was it just a series of still photos?

 

[Niks]

wow, didnt know that short video of Jupiter and its moons was so important.

 

[Disxo]

Cute camera.

 

[GK86]

We better vote where the cam points to.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

Wow, I didn't realize the importance of that video either but it makes sense.
Cool stuff!

We better vote where the cam points to.

I 100% expect the internet to vote 'Uranus'

Because....well it's the internet.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Woo hoo

 

[DrEvil]

We better vote where the cam points to.

Uranus.

 

[jett]

What ridiculous orbits this thing must have in order to avoid Jupiter's radiation as much as it can.

Why does space gotta make shit so difficult

 

[Disxo]

We chose to go to Jupiter, not because Its easy, but because Its hard.

 

[DrEvil]

What's the over/under on Juno encountering a giant space monolith, or purple space whales?

Spoiler

and hopefully not a bowl of petunias

[FTF]

This is pretty cool to watch, pretty tense (understandably) in that control room.

 

[fallout]

They got it!

Uranus.

I really hope we can get orbiters to Uranus and Neptune one day. So far only Voyager 2 has flown by them.

Edit: End of burn timer tone, yes.

 

[DrEvil]

LOL this music is so epic.

 

[Disxo]

Yeahhhh!

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Volimar]

Good show JPL.

 

[DrEvil]

Only 1 second off projection, awesome.

 

[GK86]

Awesome! Glad it was a success. It always blows my mind when NASA gets this things in orbit or lands them.

 

[Mindlog]

Still a long way to go, but step 1 complete :]
Congratulations to the team.

 

[belushy]

Seems like everything went flawlessly the entire time. Can't wait to see what comes out of this.

 

[everyday math]

Fuck yeah

 

[Zapages]

This is awesome!!!

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

"Welcome to Jupiter".

Chills.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Good god man, they were ONE second off. All that space traveled, the years...one second off.

 

[Disxo]

1 sec off?
DAYUM

 

[LuFel]

Oh MY!

we are on Jupiteeeeeer´s orbit!!!!!

 

[DrEvil]

Now they just need to get sun oriented.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I'm ready for this to take over the coms:
"We are legion. The time of our return is coming. Our numbers will darken the sky of every world."

Good god man, they were ONE second off. All that space traveled, the years...one second off.

That's insane. I can't properly account the time from one city to the next.

Engine burn complete and orbit obtained. I’m ready to unlock all your secrets, #Jupiter. Deal with it.

[Bsigg12]

Great show by JPL. Can't wait to see what gets sent back!

 

[Serpens007]

Is there an official youtube or twitch stream ?

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Please let there be aliens

 

[Niks]

Cheers NASA

 

[fallout]

Still need to wait for it to turn toward the Sun.

 

[Disxo]

Please turn to the ☀!

 

[subrock]

hardest thing nasa's ever done? Moon landing fake confirmed.

 

[jett]

One second off? Time to shut shit down and try again from scratch.

Hooray.

 

[abstract alien]

I wish I could dump most of my taxes into NASA.

 

[NetMapel]

Sun, give this space craft all your energy !

 

[Disxo]

Not full enough congress

 

[jett]

Is there an official youtube or twitch stream ?

But it has no sound it seems. Ustream is better.

[oipic]

I wish I could dump most of my taxes into NASA.

As an Australian, I would gladly do the same.

Some amazing science here, mind-boggling stuff. I have so much respect and admiration for the guys working on this.

 

[everyday math]

Time for a title changed?

That tweet is gold.

How long does info take to get back to Earth from Jupey?

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

This is the true sequel to Independence Day.

Does anyone know where Will Smith is?!?
