Quote from: Tyger on July 05, 2016, 10:37:29 AMQuote from: TBlocks on July 05, 2016, 10:32:30 AMThe reason we're doing it now is because some very smart people decided this would be a worthwhile expedition to make and would advance our knowledge of the universe. Pip mentioned Venus or Mars, presumably because they're closer and we might be able to go to them at some point. The thing with that is Venus is nearly impossible to study due to the composition of the atmosphere. (We've only gotten a handful of pictures of the surface because of a Russian probe that landed and subsequently burned away in sulfuric rain. It only lasted 30 minutes or so). For Mars, we know plenty about it and as much as we learn about the planet it doesn't really advance our ability to travel there, nor does NASA have the money for such an undertaking. More work has to be done in order to make a Mars Human expedition a reality.Also 1 billion isn't that much on the scale of space travel. Hell, every space shuttle launch costed around half of that amount and they did over 130 of those! holy shit a reasonable answer that didn't just say "op you're a retard we could learn about magnets and shit!!!!!!111!!1!1"Quote from: Pippen on July 05, 2016, 10:35:59 AMQuote from: TBlocks on July 05, 2016, 10:32:30 AMThe reason we're doing it now is because some very smart people decided this would be a worthwhile expedition to make and would advance our knowledge of the universe.

Hell, every space shuttle launch costed around half of that amount and they did over 130 of those!^^ this is what I was looking for.Thank you for explaining something that actually got the point I was looking for and countering my points.Either both of you are high, or you're a bunch of ignoramuses. Tblocks explained basic sense, and common knowledge. He didn't bring anything to the table, and yet you guys are acting like it's exciting news.The reason why we all were so frustrated and called you two retards is because this shit that you two embraced so hard is shit everyone who remotely cares knows.Venus has extreme temperatures. It's not habitable by our current technology. Mars can be habitable, but it requires a lot of time, and resources. It's also not worth it with the technology we have. Once we're able to transport lot of people we might consider it.Did I miss anything? I mean come on, that's embarrassing. I assumed you knew the deal with Venus since you mentioned it, but this is just ridiculous. Use your heads

Quote from: Desty on July 05, 2016, 08:32:10 AMPip, this isn't Quora. If this were Quora I'd say google it.Why can you understand if it were Mars or Venus, but not Jupiter? I swear, sometimes it feels like there's too little inside your head.Nicked from Nasa:Goal: Understand origin and evolution of Jupiter, look for solid planetary core, map magnetic field, measure water and ammonia in deep atmosphere, observe auroras.Because Mars and Venus have the capabilities to be travelled to in this lifetime. It took 5 years for one probe to get to Jupiter, why would we decide to pool the money together for something that can't benefit us right now?Earth has enough money issues as it is. We don'r need to put money towards Jupiter.

Don't bother replying to me anymore ITT, I won't read a single word.
So what does it help us with? Id like to know

We don'r need to put money towards Jupiter.a lot of things that have benefited humanity were not discovered as a direct foreseen outcome of the researchthere's a reason some scientists want to learn about it and decided to spend a shitload of money on it
Tbh if you want to complain about unnecessary money spending, I would be looking at the US government buying tanks that the army said it doesn't need.
So....what does Juno orbiting Jupiter help us with atm?
