OP, this is way too advanced of a subject for your average /g/ent to understand. Try explaining it in terms of graphics cards and smartphones.

10^19 orders of magnitude better.

You'll be able to see a nipple hairs on an alien tit all the way on a planet in M51 whirlpool.

I wish I was still in New Zealand to watch it live. It will be 2:30am in England.

>>55413528
To the contrary. The more we know about the universe, the faster we can develop materials and processes on earth. There are plenty of materials that we have discovered on comets and asteroids that have led to developments on earth.

>thinking orbital mechanics are hard
i completely struggled through my university courses on it, then i picked up KSP and got the entire thing down extremely quickly

i seriously recommend everyone here play KSP, it's better to see something happening than read about it.

shit like frames of reference, orbital velocities, body rotations, rendezvouses, transfers, etc i was able to depict and thus learned much easier. it doesn't simulate more intensive shit like the n-body problem for example, but if you're having a bit of trouble it'll show you how everything works

>>55414861
There's an amazing mod for the n-body problem. It limits you predicted trajectories so you have to do it the proper way and approximate and do deep space corrections.

The thing about fundamental science as opposed to technology is that technology can only be developed up to the limitations of current science.

>anon, that's obvious and irrelevant.

Well, the thing about fundamental science is that its progress and the applications thereof tend to be perfectly random. That is to say, no one fucking knows what field is going to make the next useful discovery or how that discovery will apply to technologists. Maybe the mars expedition will give insight into how not to kill our planet. Maybe an improved understanding of quasars will lead to quantum computing. At the end of the day, all fundamental science can do is branch out in every direction at once and hope there is more to learn.

This.

I'm seriously about to whistle blow on the whole fucking system. I worked as an EMT and then in finance for hospitals.

You wouldn't believe the garbage people are forced to pay for and the dumb prices we ask the insurance company and they actually fucking pay it.

A box of bendy straws is like 5$ for 100 in the regular world, but in the medical field a box of ''specialty'' straws for people is near 20$ or even more.
Of course 1 box wouldn't be that bad but my hospital alone buys hundreds of these a quarter.

If you ever had a scumbag friend or you say fuck it I want to get rich scamming people, sell shit to hospitals. Better yet be a broker for insurance companies.

>>55418626
What stream are you using? The youtube one doesn't have any sound.

>>55418559
If you want to find a cure cancer, you should focus on finding a way to militarize it. I'm not even kidding.

Every major technological breakthrough is developed for military purposes. For example, our entire understanding of nuclear physics is essentially based on the U.S. military looking for new ways to genocide people.

So: Convince the U.S. military that cancer can be harnessed and weaponized, and you will gain understanding as a result.

Here we go

quick someone fly a quad copter drone with a mystery box near juno so they will have to stop and try again

>>55418589
Not that I am personally aware of, you're stuck with straight hohman to your destination.

I have no idea why they didn't understand you can't just "print more money" for it.

Juno is now passing through the highest radiation regions of the Jupiter radiation field.

Here's to hoping it doesnt fuck up. Yes, it does have auto-restart for the burn in the event of a computer reset, but if it doesnt rack up at least 20 minutes of burn time it will not capture.

only way that seems feasible for long-distance (hundreds of light-years) travel will be wormhole tech, which will be hilariously dangerous if it's actually achieved because you're working with energies enough to bend space (you'd also need to build gates, which would be fucking expensive)

also, you still need time to set something like that up (to actually make the connection to where you want to end up -- it's not teleportation, it's just taking a shortcut)

we're sure as hell not going to do it in our lifetime though
our great grandkids might see the project's beginning
and their great grandkids might finally be attacked by space pirates

I'll give you a little bit of knowledge OP.

I work for a big data company, for our website marketing wanted pictures of people working together. They asked everyone in the office to allow themselves to get pictures taken, participate in booths at conventions, etc.

Everyone tries to get out of this shit. They ask everyone in person once, nearly everyone says no again.

Then they start targeting darkies and women and hound them until they get the numbers needed.

Almost no whites appear on our website or go to our booths.

The radiation would have destroyed the instruments by then. Its that intense.

They have to drop Juno into Jupiter after the mission because they did not sterilize it, and thus if it hit one of the moons it could contaminate them.

Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”

Can somebody explain to be why the Jupiter system is so radioactive?

>>55420095
Jupiter has a hugely powerful magnetic field, second to only that of the sun. It acts like a giant particle accelerator, taking captured solar particles and materials ejected from Io and accelerating them to huge velocities.

>>55418526
Cancer has billions thrown at it, too. It's not so much an issue of money as it is an issue of cancer is really fucking resilient and varied in its expression. Alzheimer's is easier but less funded since cancer is popular and who cares about old people I guess. HIV is a neat one since curing it is so close and yet so far.

Ultimately, none of these are as much money locked as they are just difficult to fix.

Genetic therapies seem to be really effective on cancer, though. As well, Alzheimer's. I don't know about HIV, though.

>>55420095
In the early period of the solar system we were actually a two star system, with Jupiter as it's own, albeit much smaller, star. It fairly quickly ran out of hydrogen and died, becoming a planetary nebula and then a planet. Towards the end of a star's life it creates all the super heavy radioactive elements through fusion/fission reactions. So that's why it's so radioactive.

>Wormhole travel
It is unlikely that we will take this method since there isn't actual proof of a worm hole existing to begin with. It might take an offshoot to other things like warp bubbles but the first big step to any space travel will come from better understanding gravity through detectors on Earth, in our solar system and the scientific method in general.
As far as materials are concerned, graphene will allow for better energy storage and capture as well as allow for better space suits and computers. Hulls.. well, I dunno. There has to be something we can stuff together that will be strong enough to withstand space debris that travels at some factor of c.

My twin brother is HIV+

It's not a "take a pill and everything's fine" situation.

The pill makes you feel like shit for hours after taking it-- and you have to take it exactly on schedule twice a day.

On top of that have fun never getting laid ever again. Try having a romantic partner that you can't have sex with... it doesn't work. Try having a romantic partner that you pass on a life threatening illness to... that doesn't work either.

HIV is a life altering problem for those who get it.

True. People have enough trouble with the concept of "natural" and "naturally occurring." All things are natural, we just create an environment where these things become. Naturally occurring is when something is found without our interjection to cause its formation. Greenies are really good at misunderstanding things, especially radiation and nuclear power generation.

Why is it so hard to understand that peace is not the status quo, and the fact we are at peace is because of a military capable of being anywhere in the world within a few hours.

This part applies to nasa as well.... The money doesn't just disappear you fucks. They don't wave a wand and turn cash into f-35s. Insane amounts of jobs, from actual military personnel to miners digging the war materials needed to build that shit. Then you are paying scientists and engineers to build some insanely high tech shit that FOR SURE is going to benefit the medical community as well.

Which, by the way, do you not think the US military isn't doing medical research? How will throwing more money at the problem fucking help? The best researchers, engineers, scientists, medicine faggots of the world are already doing everything they can. Put money into nasa and the military to invent some kind of weird radioactive death machine that also just happens to only target the gay gene to cure faggots of their faggotry.

>>55425129
we will have reached the singularity before we get into space. At which point it's literally impossible to know what the fuck we would be capable of.

I know that shit is meme-tier but machines are capable of doing something humans cannot which is what basically guarantees the singularity is going to happen. Human intelligence is a closed system. You cannot link multiple brains up to push more data but machines have no boundaries. Computers with crazy dense neural networks filling up thousands of warehouses running intuitive geared AI. I think most people agree it doesn't even take fully autonomous AI to reach the point of a super intelligence.

Which at that point who the fuck knows what technologies will be invented. Self repairing nanomachines injected to every human to allow immortality, super intelligence, that allow us to live off of whatever fucking powersource and to literally change our biology and appearance on a whim. Nanomachines with linked processors controlled with some kinda of weird quantum entanglement that allows avatar type control of another body in another solar system.

Uh, people have to design those warships and planes before they can be used dipshit. They wouldn't have to design them if no one was going to use them. So people had to design, buy materials, and build those planes, ships, bullets, smart bombs, m-4s, m249s, clothing, tanks, and train pilots, medical personnel. Those costs also pay for civilian construction crews, engineers, doctors, nurses, medicines, ect.

Not only that but are you going to bitch about every fucking expenditure in the world because it doesn't go towards something YOU want it to? I mean, I had a poptart this morning because I was running late for work. Are you going to bitch about that $.25c?

How does it compare to modern smartphones?
Tell it to me in terms I can understand, is this samsung or apple level?

not necessarily. The photos will be whatever res they decide to stitch together.

Also, I don't know what cameras this bitch has but they for sure have more than the one. I highly doubt they went to pictureline, bought a DSLR for $1500 and plugged it in with a kit lense. They will take smaller res photos first as a test, take a look, and run whatever shit they have on their. That fucking craft probably has insane military spy-plane-satellite tier cameras on it with a wide array of spectrums that allow false color.
