NUKING JUPITER....
This site has more information on the matter but for those less scientifically or mathematically inclined it might be a bit boring.
http://www.enterprisemission.co m/NukingJupiter.html
Did we Nuke Jupiter?
Several years ago I was reading about the Galileo unmanned spacecraft which we sent to examine
Jupiter' s moons. The Galileo space probe was plutonium powered and was still functioning when it
was decided to crash the probe into Jupiter to prevent contamination of Jupiter' s moon Europa.
As a war nerd and always fond of learning about very destructive devices...
I always knew how a plutonium nuclear bomb worked.
This made me think... did we really do that... so like any internet nerd with a weird curiosity, I googled it and
sure enough others had come to the same conclusion and some with more knowledge than me.
A Plutonium nuclear bomb would slightly resemble a soccor ball where plates powered by
an explosive force would force an extreme pressure on the plutonium creating a critical
mass and cause nuclear Fission,
In short - Extreme pressure causes plutonium atoms to split and create massive energy...
i. e. an explosion.
Now Jupiter is big....
Gravity is significantly higher due to is
massive size meaning anything that comes
into contact with Jupiter would get crushed
and since it has no 'hard surface' it would
A continue falling as it was crushed.
About now you should be putting two and two together.
Plutonium + Pressure = Nuclear Explosion
Satellite powered by plutonium + Jupiter' s atmospheric pressure = ?
one month after the satellite was plunged into
Jupiter' s hydrogen depths..... this appeared.
Because of Jupiter' s densely compacted atmosphere. An objec' t rubric" into jupiter would be slowed
but would still eventually reach a crushing depth.
JUPITER - October, 19 was
Then these pictures were taken 30 minutes after
the First black splotch discovery.
Hamm that black trailing spot wasn' t there before.....
UT an UT
Astronomer' s discounted the possibility of an impact by asteroid due to the trailing
nature of the black splotch. We had recorded impacts before and this was different.
So did we nuke Jupiter? '
Most of which in this image was taken from a website (link in desc.) just simplified, supprized,
and shortened
So the next time someone asks if
its possible to turn Jupiter into a
second sun by Nuking it. _
You know its not.
We accidentally tried it...

Though technically powered by nuclear energy, the power source for Galileo was a General Purpose Heat Source Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, which is very unlike a bomb. It simply harnesses the energy from it's radioactive decay.
It uses Pu-238 which is not a fissile material (unlike it's brother Pu-239 which is very fissile). So irregardless of how much pressure is applied, the Pu-238 cannot begin a fission process. Thus there couldn't be any man induced nuclear bomb from Galileo.

Actually, Jupiter has a FUCKING HIGH amount of gravity, only the moons in it's Orbit can withstand. If ANYTHING passes through, ex. the nuke, it will crush like an ant going into the Mariana's Trench. Therefore, we didnt

so they nuked Jupiter just to check if it will turn into another sun? What an assholes. Wouldn't it be kinda apocalyptic. No wonder nobody wants to come in contact with humans...

Jupiter being a gas planet, the satellite could not detonate unless impacting on a solid surface. js

Why is it that NASA is so concerned with "contaminating" other planets with earth bacteria? In this case they may have been referring to the plutonium, but it's usually in reference to accidentally spreading life. What exactly would be the downside to this?

fantomen (06/02/2012) [-] not possible.
the probe was powered by a plutonium nuclear battery.
It contains WAY to little plutonium to reach critical mass, and start a fission chain-reaction.
Worst thing that could happen would be that a small amount of radioactive heavy metal rained down on Jupiter.

It takes a lot fuel to make explosion. Plutonium isn't even very active. Enriched Uranium is used in weapons for a reason. Stupid OP.

Well no. Nuking it wouldn't do shit. Jupiter isn't big enough to start the fusion process. Setting it on fire wouldn't work because there's a severe lack of oxygen to keep any sort of burning going.

Wouldn't it not burn also due to the lack of oxygen because of their being no atmosphere on Jupiter capable of holding it? Or am I totally Brain-Farting right now?

this was a good read, actually made me think. Thank you. But more items are reuired to create a fission reaction.
