[i]This year's AmericaFest will feature both a live view of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's mission control room as Juno reaches its destination and a unique fireworks display that commemorates the NASA mission. The Rose Bowl plans to paint a glow-in-the-dark and life-sized version of the Juno probe — about the size of a basketball court — into the stadium's field ahead of the show. They'll also have special pre-recorded messages from the science guy Bill Nye, the head of the Pasadena-based Planetary Society. The JPL Chorus — yes, that's a thing — will open the show with the National Anthem. Minutes before the fireworks show kicks off, the stadium will cut to mission control as NASA learns whether Juno successfully maneuvered into orbit. As the Juno team (hopefully) celebrates, the first volley of fireworks is expected to launch... The show will end with a special shell called "The Moons of Jupiter," signed by the Juno team, that will explode into the shape of Juno's mission logo.[/i]
