  I once asked a question on here about forces involved in a gravity assist and had someone reply that it’s only something in movies, it doesn’t really exist.

    It is real and NASA does use it.

    To that person. Huh? Nearly every interplanetary launch has been using a gravity assist to save fuel despite such journeys taking much longer

    You know… I’ve seen a lot of your comments and they always throw me because my cats name is also Una. I think I’ve said that. But none more than that one lmfao

  It’s free real estate inertia!

  <puts on nerd hat> Normal people rarely see the above image. When you look at Jupiter with the naked eye, you see a slightly brighter dot. The only way to tell it’s not a star is that it changes position relative to them from day to day.
  If you look at it with a good pair of binoculars, you can see that the dot seems to be slightly bigger than other dots. You still can’t see the red spot.
  If you look at it through a telescope with a 10" objective and 100x magnification, you can definitely make out the red spot and you can make out that the rest of the planet has some texture.

  An image that clear and crisp takes some very expensive equipment.

    Is this what I think it is? Or is it an eyepatch?

  Need to replace that with a picture of Venus.

  Jupiter is a net

    Nasa uses Jupiter for gravity assists for most outer planet missions though, so the joke is pretty apt.

      Has there ever been a mission where they slingshot around Jupiter without using Venus? Venus is how they get to the outer planets.
