I want live feed from Mars. No filtering

I demanded publicly-accessible PTZ cameras and a Web site for the rover, but I got thrown out of the first budget constraints meeting, Yoav. I didn’t even get to explain my solution for the delay between Earth commands, Mars actions, and viewable results.

Joviology? (I’m sure there are rocks down below those gas clouds somewhere.)

Well, kind-of, but not in the sense you mean.

IIUC, the current understanding of Jupiter’s interior is that the (mostly H & He) atmosphere becomes more and more dense as one descends, to the extent that the term “gas” is no longer meaningful, even though technically correct. Beneath the atmosphere it is believed that there exists a substantial layer of liquid metallic hydrogen (a hypothetical state of hydrogen – which is, after all, a Group I metal – that can only exist at immensely-large pressures and is thought to be responsible for Jupiter’s magnetic field).

Beneath this layer it is thought that Jupiter’s core contains many of the same elements that exist in Earth’s crust, mantle and core and so demand the term “rocky”. But they’d all be in a liquid or amorphous-solid state under pressures the magnitude of which we can barely imagine.

I learned something new today. Thanks.
