Bluecoat2- We've lost a team on Jupiter today. Two of them were close friends.
how exactly does one lose "a team ON Jupiter" when Jupiter is a gas giant and we aren't even sure it has a solid core, let alone know what it's
made of.
Jupiter is composed primarily of gaseous and liquid matter.
....
Jupiter's upper atmosphere is composed of about 88–92% hydrogen and 8–12% helium by percent volume or fraction of gas molecules (see table to the
right). Since a helium atom has about four times as much mass as a hydrogen atom, the composition changes when described as the proportion of mass
contributed by different atoms. Thus the atmosphere is approximately 75% hydrogen and 24% helium by mass, with the remaining one percent of the mass
consisting of other elements. The interior contains denser materials such that the distribution is roughly 71% hydrogen, 24% helium and 5% other
elements by mass. The atmosphere contains trace amounts of methane, water vapor, ammonia, and silicon-based compounds. There are also traces of
carbon, ethane, hydrogen sulfide, neon, oxygen, phosphine, and sulfur. The outermost layer of the atmosphere contains crystals of frozen
ammonia.[15][16] Through infrared and ultraviolet measurements, trace amounts of benzene and other hydrocarbons have also been found

I mean, is it that much to expect some special navy space pilot to know the basics of Jupiter.
Now if he had of said "in" instead of "on" I'd still call him a BS artist.
P.S.
Do we really need a thread telling us this guy is going to say something in a week? Can't we wait til he says something? Or do we just need the
fill the board with useless random crap to feel good about ourselves?

First off..
So that nobody assumes anything..
I'll start by saying that my "BS meter" raised to level orange the second I read the title of the thread.
But when I read "lost a team on Jupiter today", My BS meter went even further, into the red section.. lol
However...
You are assuming that we are told everything there is to know about Jupiter.
You (WE, rather), Know only what we're "supposed to know"/"need to know", and nothing more.
Everything we "know" is controlled by very few.
Do you not know this already?
I mean.. You are on ATS.
Do you know for sure whether NSC is actually exploring the solar system or not? (Other planets)
No?
Then how do you know what NSC may, or may not know?
Rest assured, They know more than any of "us",
and more than any of our scientists are allowed to know.
So how do you know what they have, or have not discovered about Jupiter, or any other body in this system?
You're just assuming that what we've been told/taught, is all there is to know.. and nothing further has been discovered.
Not exactly a "critical mind"/"critical thought process", is it?
In closing..
Again, I'm as sure as I can be, (without being completely , 100% sure), That this is pure BS.
But what if?
Naval Space Command has far more going on out there than most people could fathom, or might care to know about.
Don't believe that everything you "know" about something.. (because you've been told by a small handful)
is all there is to know about it, and that no one else may, just may... Know more.
Last time for those who only like to read a few select lines...
I do believe this story is very, very likely, complete BS. lol
