A comment on ESA – Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer: Live Launch. Parent comment
Ahhh, that makes sense. Essentially Voyager did do a direct flight while JUICE isn't, instead building speed by doing slingshots off Earth and Venus.
"First, it will do a fly-by of Earth and the Moon, then slingshot around Venus in 2025 before swinging past Earth again in 2029."
