Jupiter and Juno

Anyone else excited about this? Can't wait for the photos to start showing up. Hope we can find a Jupiterian (is that what we call them?) on a free transfer to play CB.

Watched the Apollo moonwalks as a kid on TV, grew up in the middle of the Space Race with those darn Russians. Nowadays we ride in their ships up to the space station. We've come a long way, it seems.

Pluto last year, Saturn the year before, Jupiter this year. These things were unimaginable when I was a kid. Life is good.

It's so hard to keep track of all the awesomeness going on..... SpaceX falcon heavy test later this year, hopefully a Europa and Mars mission in the next few years, moon base ideas being thrown around by ESA, space is getting exciting!
