NASA's secret weapon for planetary exploration? A cosmic slingshot! While the rest of us are admiring Jupiter's majestic bands and iconic red spot, NASA scientists are calculating the perfect trajectory to yeet a spacecraft across the solar system using gravitational assists. Who needs billion-dollar rockets when you've got a fancy wooden slingshot and the physics knowledge to match? Next time you see a beautiful planetary image, just know some engineer is thinking "sweet, another celestial object we can use to fling our stuff around space!"
