This launch ended up failing, but not until a couple of minutes into the launch. Something was clearly not quite right from the start, though.

I guess it's kinda like learning to drive stick.
They start the rocket out in a big field and keep making the field progressively smaller.
Seems it blew an engine right at launch; they probably just kept it going until it departed to get as much telemetry as they could. TWR right at 1 and off-center thrust would make it do the hoverslide until it burned enough fuel to start going up.

Amazing control response to keep it from doing something totally crazy.
It was interesting listening to the YouTube, as the narrator was like, “Well, I guess we’re still flying, next is Max Q”
It’s Saturday, so why not. Hard to believe William Shatner recently turned 90.
He looks quite puffy. Has anyone offered to check his blood pressure? At any rate, it's not hard to imagine that a guy known for having a colossal ego doesn't have the self-awareness to know that he does, in fact, talk like that.

If you make it to 90 you can be as puffy as you want.

Juno finally got close enough to Jupiter’s Great Red Spot to measure its depth
Into the eye of the red storm.
The team thinks the storm reaches to a depth of 300 kilometers, give or take a hundred, with an absolute maximum depth of 500 kilometers. For comparison, weather on Earth happens in the troposphere, which is only about ten kilometers thick.
