How Long Would It Take Us To Go To Jupiter?

Jupiter is one of the most important planets in our solar system. With giant anti-cyclonic storms and a magnetosphere so powerful that it defies comprehension, Jupiter is an intriguing planet. Many people would prefer to go to Saturn obviously because of its beautiful rings, but Jupiter too won’t disappoint you. There are many reasons to go to Jupiter like its icy moons, which we will discuss later in the video. But if you were to escape Earth for some reason a cost-benefit observation would show that Jupiter is a more viable option.

I love space exploration. I was blown away when I found out that Jupiter had 81 moons. I want to buy one or sponsor one.... 🤓

Jupiter magnetosphere will deep fry them

At warp factor one, it would take around 33 minutes from Earth to Jupiter if both planets were in opposition. (Both are on the same side of the Sun.)

take a shot of vodka each time he says jupiter .

So whats our best our option?

1. Go straight there, slow down for orbit

2. Gravity assist venus, mars & earth to speed up & some how slow down hard to orbit

3. Go really slow to orbit easy

then I guess use Gravity assist from the moons & others to get home quicker for all 3 options

I have dreams all the time about floating and flying through space, and seeing the planets

[swinde]

Most people do not understand that for all of the planetary missions, most of the trip requires no fuel for propulsion. It takes a large rocket to get off the Earth, and there are small thrusters to control attitude and course corrections. To orbit another planet we have to fire a rocket to slow the vehicle down and be captured by the planet. Additional burns may be used to circularize the orbit or change the orbit. Most of the trip is just coasting around the Sun like the other planets do. To go directly would require far more rocket fuel for the trip and the orbit insertion.

Humm, if I remember correctly, you can orient a "slingshot" maneuver to slow down rather than speed up. Been a long time since I played with orbits in Kerbal Space Program, though.

This channel's video quality is exceptional. 81 moons! What an awesome planet.

[lordhegamonster]

Where are they going to land once they get to Jupiter?? On one of the ice moons? What’s the point of doing so??

[flyingrobotduck]

If Humans ever go to Jupiter in person, it will likely be after they've developed faster ships. Even if they could cut down the trip to six months, then it's doable, if they have a way to protect themselves from the radiation.

[MightyMattTM]

I don’t think it would be a viable trip unless the spacecraft has a way to slow down on its approach to Jupiter. We cannot feasibly support a 6-10 year trip for a full crew to Jupiter. Propulsion tech would have to dramatically improve before we could send any living human there.

[trevcam]

There's no point. We have autonomous robots and systems that can collect information for us.
Let's concentrate on saving our own planet.

[timbennett]

without watching first I would say how long it takes depends on how fast you can go!

[GadreelAdvocat]

Be worthwhile to send some supplies ahead. Supplies orbiting Jupiter and some on Callisto. Or even a base pre sent to Callisto. If there was a mission, might make it worthwhile to land on one of the moons that's possible to due so. Then pick up some samples to bring back. Might be an idea to send an RTG craft to Jupiter that can mechanically divert some smaller moons to crash into Callisto. Giving it more mass.

[nicolasuribestanko]

Travel to Jupiter? Nothing could be stupider.

[fd]

Normal speed for a car in NYC is 5 mph.

[CRUELLANDER]

Can’t wait for the United States of Jupiter. Although I don’t know how we are gonna fit 82 stars on a flag so.
