| 0:00.0 | This is not a NASA probe. |
| 0:05.0 | This is CBS I on the world behind the black with Bob Zimmerman. |
| 0:09.0 | We're looking at a NASA probe called Juice. |
| 0:12.0 | What is Juice Bob? This is not a NASA probe. This is a |
| 0:15.6 | European probe. Juice is going to Jupiter to study the upper atmosphere of Jupiter |
| 0:21.8 | but mostly the three big icy moons |
| 0:25.1 | Ganymy, Kalisto, and Europa. It won't get there till 31. To get there it's going to |
| 0:31.2 | do a bunch of flybys. |
| 0:33.6 | Last week it did an unprecedented fly |
| 0:37.8 | first of the moon and then a day later the Earth |
| 0:41.1 | that's never done a flyby of both Earth and Moon. They did it |
| 0:44.8 | successfully. In doing so they also decided to test the high |
| 0:48.4 | resolution camera on Juice and that camera produced some pictures I have posted on one of those pictures of the moon on behind the black. |

| 1:17.0 | Yes, this was the reaction of the astronauts on Apollo 8. It looks like a skull, and yes, it's a living work there would be really difficult, but you know, there is advantages to having bases on the moon, if anything, just simply learning how to build a base on another world for other planets. |
| 1:36.5 | Mars I go for this no all right we go to Jackson Jackson and Slim Slim. What was Slim? Slim was a little land that landed in in the spring, |
| 1:49.9 | and I'm sorry, in January on the moon moon it was to test high precision autonomous robotic |
| 1:55.5 | landing start to land within a very very small target area it successfully |
| 2:00.7 | did that it landed with a 10 meter target range even though and it |
| 2:06.8 | had 300 meters to work with but it was within 10 meters of its target very |
