Explanation:
Wait for me!
In 2011, NASA's robotic mission
Juno launched for Jupiter from
Cape Canaveral,
Florida,
USA.
Last week,
Juno reached Jupiter and fired internal rockets to become only the
second spacecraft to orbit our Solar System's largest
planet.
Juno, tasked with studying the
jovian giant over the next two years,
is in a highly elliptical orbit that will next bringing it near
Jupiter's cloud tops in late August.
Of course, the three-year-old pictured was not able to catch up to the
launching rocket.
Today, however, five years later, he is eight-years-old and still chasing rockets
--
in that now he wants to be an astronaut.
