Juno Heads To Jupiter



This is a great mission, but it will take 5 years to even get there. One year wasted, to just meet up with Earth and get a slingslot boost out to Jupiter. If we had a heavier lift rocket, it would get there much faster.



Neat mission, it will be in a Polar orbit, which is a first. It will even collect valuable data on Earth when it flies by in a year (so look for that).
