I could watch this all day. Sometimes humans are amazing!

Damned space probes stealing our velocity

That's what I call a motherfucking trick shot.

Deep Space Maneuvers sounds like either a terrible college jazz fusion band or a equally terrible porn.
juanchits
piece of cake.

thats how they got back in interstella 5555

Slows down? Generally you'd have to accelerate to raise the periapsis. Some can be compensated by a gravity assist but why overcompensate?
Ounnnnnnn
What's Juno?
OhLordNotAgain
Just thinking of the mathematics that made this feasible makes my head hurt.
ChaosSchley
Oh sure but when I try this in Kerbal it's "a catastrophic failure" and "tantamount to murder"...
ListenHereYouLittleShirt
Neat.

Looks like it slows down Jupiter's orbit, our plan all along.
YoSoFunny
So Juno is bigger than Earth and Earth is really close to the sun, got it
thestorkasaurus
Yeah, I'd much rather have an exact scale, where Earth and Jupiter are a few pixels and we can't even see the probe.

Whats so crazy about all this to me is that the video made back in 2011 (launch date) of this said it would hit july 2016.

It was only off my one second when it came to their calculations.

Some serious math here

KOBE!!

God damn, imagine the amount of math they had to go through to do this. I would've been losing my mind just watching them do it.

+1 for the actual quote

very cool
bingocuzzin
Where are the pics from this thing already??
CaptainLegot
It doesn't have a very good camera, iirc a camera originally wasn't even included. It's just not a priority this time.
iConfirmAnythingAndEverything
Too bad, imagine the amazing photos of Jupiter's atmosphere it could take so close
CaptainLegot
But scientifically they're not worth allot compared to what we have from Hubble. That's what the other instruments are for!

I do this kind of stuff in KSP all this time, with only minor kerbin casualties.

Does some poor bastard at Nasa have to translate every thing from metric because Americans are still working in pigs and goats?
BrownskinOriental
It's bacon alright BACON. That's how we've sent shit all over the solar system and beyond.
razetherunner
1) the sciences all use metric now (finally) 2) we aren't the only ones using fucky systems *cough*Imperial*cough*
Toasterpops
Only one that doesn't is meteorology. Fahrenheit is more precise.

Excuse me! We call those FREEDOM UNITS here!

Love a good freedom unit. 1 eagle point

dat math doe

NASA probably had to use Kerbal Space Programme and MechJeb to plot this +1
SomethingCleverAndFunnyThatHasentBeenTaken
So we have a repost of something, with the top comment being a repost of my top comment on the original?
ProfessorExpert
It's like these people don't realize you're the only one that knows what math is... The nerve... The fucking nerve
cracktoberfest
Waaaaa waaaa wa. I'll remember to check all your comments before I ever make one in the future.
IamNotaFreakyFishGuy
I always wonder how much better I would be in KSP if I used math instead of saying "fuck it" and eyeballing a trip to the Mun.
hoeya
A lot.

Thanks for posting something other than boobs and/or cats.

I would say it's a free world, but then again you're Chinese and I'm sure cockslapping is regulated.
