<NASA PR Crew> "Just call it Science because they won't understand."

 

[Volimar]

Alright, if you're playing the "drink every time they say science" game, I need you to stop. For your own health. Stop.

 

[GK86]

Are we collecting science now?

Came to post this lmfao.

 

[Zapages]

collecting data for science... But collecting Data. ROTFL... hahaha

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Got both the livestream and Eyes on the Solar System up.

I'm determined to screencap that orbital insertion moment lol.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

That's a sweet control room.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Let's listen in on the team.

Cuts to team chillin'.

"She said let's listen in on the team!"

Internal panic: "Hurry up, somebody Science!"

 

[Disxo]

That's a sweet control room.

They also do raids there
Jk

 

[Chris R]

Where is NASA's twitch stream?

 

[Vincent Alexander]

The way they kept saying Science I couldn't help but think of RTS games and mining resources. Gather all the Science!

Where is NASA's twitch stream?

I'm sure NASA has a ton of BoobTube streamers.

 

[GK86]

That's a sweet control room.

Gaf Mods have a similar room for when they ban users.

 

[Volimar]

Jk

LAN parties at the JPL would be amazing.

 

[fallout]

We aren't going to get any information at all until 53 days later? That's kind of a buzzkill.

And scientific papers won't be published until years after that!

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

I believe it.

Control room peeps be like

 

[fallout]

Doppler shift detected. Sign of the start of the burn.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Please don't hit debris
Please don't hit debris
Please don't hit debris

I imagine you can't quite build anything durable enough to handle debris slamming into Juno, can you?

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Boom. They received the signal that the main engine started.

Also, caught it haha. Was only 0.1 seconds too slow.

It's beginning!

We gon science the shit outta Jupiter soon. Jupiter is not ready for this science.

Why I am not seeing Ridley Scott presentation, directing, editing and aesthetics in the live stream??
Everything has to unfold in a Ridley Scott style! The space exploration, the evolution of life, the theory of everything....

*just joking*

 

[Volimar]

full impulse power mr. sulu.

 

[Disxo]

Clapping?
They just finished eating

 

[GK86]

Go, Juno, go!

 

[FTF]

Ah ok, that JOI.

 

[Volimar]

Those two are totally nailing each other.

 

[jett]

Jupiter gonna be drowning in all that sweet science

 

[GK86]

Those two are totally nailing each other.

Can you blame them? With all that Science going on.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

BILL BILL BILL BILL

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Wait. What? Did that video just cutoff? I want to hear about the name!

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

So realtime this thing finished like 10 minutes ago but we won't know it survived for about 45 minutes, right?

 

[jett]

What happened just now. The Illuminati doesn't want us to know about Juno's science.

 

[DrEvil]

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.

 

[jett]

Man Juno looks STUPID CLOSE to Jupiter in NASA's app.

 

[fallout]

Something like that, yeah.

Man Juno looks STUPID CLOSE to Jupiter in NASA's app.

Ha, yeah. Jupiter's huge. A tiny spacecraft would generally look like that against any planet.

 

[Disxo]

Why is the sun hot from the earth then?
Space can be extremelly hot or extremelly cold.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

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.

It's really a shame they had to turn off the camera.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Jupiter is HUGE.

It was about 11,000 miles from it at orbital insertion. A little more than this.

Indeed. I would have loved a complete video of the JOI. Still, we'll be getting some amazing shots in the future.

It just didn't really dawn on me how close that distance would actually be relative to Jupiter's size.

 

[LuFel]

Yay juno!

falta poquito!



muy poquitooooo...!!!

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.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

One of these controllers need to open up Galaga on their PC like that guy in Avengers.

At least that's what I would do.

For science, obviously.

Yeah, Its weird, but heat is still transferred. Edit: Crap, This was wrong.

Btw this doesn't have a mini reactor, is solar powered

 

[Vincent Alexander]

36 miles a second....Holy shite.

 

[User 85168]

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.

 

[DrEvil]

We posted this today to celebrate, too

So my bullshit guess wasn't too far off? Maybe?

 

[GK86]

Hearing that story, Juno is such a fantastic and appropriate name.

 

[fallout]

No reactor, actually. Hence the giant solar panels. In fact, the battery dies if it doesn't reorient itself properly post-JOI burn.

Heat is still heat. That energy goes somewhere.

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