If you just started watching, at this point the team is waiting for the first signals from the probe.

[Edit: acquired successfully :)].

…and signal acquired! Telemetry is coming in.

After SpaceX, I always expect to see live cams. Of course, that would just add weight and complexity without relevant benefits except the entertainement... but being entertained is fun :-)

Getting more publicity and public support and get the science much further in the mid to long term. Its a legitimate consideration to make imo. Were not bound by rocket capacity as much as we are by public support & funding.

Certainly helps with their next set of grant proposals.

I think that proper science communication and marketing is crucial, at the same time, it is very difficult to explain with numbers and graphs, while it is so much easier with multispectral imaging (see the success of Hubble and the Mars images).

Live cam data can be useful in analysis of failures.

What can a camera tell you that more sensors couldn't?

Probably doesn't matter much for this one as it is the last Ariane 5 launch (afaik). Maybe they can get cameras on the 6.

Entertainment = Money. People will support things that give them a good time. Just look at the Hollywood.

Certainly a peculiar relationship. Your post made me wonder when the first dogecoin private key will reach escape velocity. Any bets? I think we can agree that the "if" and "who" is already settled...

Congrats to the whole Juice and ESA teams involved!

this kind of stuff always encourages me to think we can do good things, when we are not being mind-numbingly stupid.

Oh nice! I've always thought this was a cool mission, but it has felt more... personal after seeing 17776.

The parent is referring to this article [1], which features JUICE and two other satellites as characters observing humans on earth after the advent of immortality.

It's a great read. It's thoroughly and wonderfully human.

I hope it has lots of neatly partitioned meats and cheeses onboard.

This launch reminded me of the now long-cancelled JIMO mission..

JUICE is probably _fine_, but I can't help wishing that we had had the $ and the stones to go for the real deal :)

I couldn't a damn about sports. But I get quite nervous watching rocket launches, thinking about all the money and effort that have gone into them. I was so relieved when the JW turned out to be a massive success.
