NASA Discovers Juno Orbiting Above Jupiter, Florida - Not Planet Jupiter

Pasadena, CA

"Talk about embarrassing."

That was the comment from a NASA employee at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory who wished to remain anonymous.

"I don't know how this could have happened," said the employee.  "Our probes are extremely sophisticated, but I don't see how Juno could have mislead all of us for five years while it was supposed to be on its way to Jupiter."

The spokesman paused for several minutes as he scratched his head while looking down at the floor.

"You know, I don't think we can rule out the possibility of hacking from somewhere like North Korea or China......or by some twelve year-old kid with a laptop and too much time on his or her hands.  At any rate, it appears we won't be getting any new information about Jupiter the planet."

The Jupiter, Florida chamber of commerce playing up the orbiting space probe as a tourist attraction and planning a promotional campaign based on the extraordinary sight of the technologically advanced craft orbiting about 1500 feet above the town.

Calls to the NASA director's office were not returned.
