NASA about to launch Juno on mission to Jupiter (Live)

ajrimmer42 · 08-05-11, 10:41 AM

Just a quick heads up, NASA are about to launch Juno on a mission to probe Jupiter. The thing that got my attention with this is that they're sending some Lego up there

you can watch it here: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html

At the time of writing the countdown is at: T minus 4 minutes on hold for 10 minutes due to helium flow problems.

Your BBC had it live.
I only realised when this went up that my youngest had never seen a launch before.

Was quite convinced/happy with the original link....should have went to 'old reliable' perhaps.
