Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (from James Cameron's Aliens of the Deep) (Part 1)

A clip from James' Cameron's Aliens of the Deep highlighting the canceled Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter's (JIMO) mission to explore the Jovian moons and send a probe to explore the oceans under Europa's Icy crust. Currently the Europa Jupiter System Mission is the proposed alternative to JIMO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_Jupiter_System_Mission .

If you pay attention to the music and the way the scenes are set up you might notice some very interesting similarities between this clip and the entrance of the Venture Star to the Pandora system from James Cameron's Avatar.

@Auge2011 yep, looks like it. Jupiter has some massive storms in its atmosphere. Heck, the red spot is a gigantic hurricane that has been going on for more than 300 years.
