A brief history: The Juno DJ5 ship is the only ship of the fleet of five that launched from earth that actually made a landing on Jupiter. The humans that landed consisted of three astronauts: Cassada, Fleming and Archer. The humans lived on Jupiter for about three months before they succumbed to the extreme elements of our planet.
