- ceejayoz 5y agoThe issues the poster cites, like "this probe won't arrive until 2030", are in part due to the physical size of space.
- bpodgursky 5y agoEhh... it's due to the technical challenge of getting enough fuel into space to get to Jupiter quickly without a bunch of gravity assists. Never going to be a weekend hop, but there are definitely technical advances that make it a 3 month trip rather than a 3 year trip.
