Awesome trailer.

When does it open in theaters?

Ok, seriously, I didn't know Jupiter was such an interesting planet with all these interesting features, but that trailer is still a bit over the top somehow. I mean, science is meant to be dry and boring number crunching, not action maneuvers inside The Zone.

By the way, it's much easier to survey gas giants in Stellaris, but I'm curious what they will find out now. Near unlimited energy for hydrogen cars/spaceships?

yes some of that trailer made me think of Shatner's best moments of camp in Star Trek
If you want to get more interactive with Juno and the solar system, look at Nasa's Eyes:

Will Uranus be next? That is the question.

Cleaner version of post elsewhere:

Trust you, NASA.
I am in hysterics.

You know how all of Jupiters moons are named after lovers and affairs?
Yeah, NASA is sending a craft to check up on Jupiter.

You know what that craft is called?
JUNO

Who's Juno?
JUPITER'S WIFE

NASA is sending Jupiters wife to check on Jupiter and his affiars and lovers.

Trust you, NASA.
