    The Europa Clipper is one of my projects! It is going to be a massive size - covering a basketball court when fully deployed. It is going to yield a lot of new science stuff that will help us understand our small part of the universe.
    Now Simon needs to do one on Titan (Saturn's moon) and how John's Hopkins APL is creating a helicopter to fly around that little rock! The project is called Dragonfly.

    The likely similarity of the under ice environment to volcanic vents on our ocean floor, screams the possibility of life. I'm old enough to remember when it was widely believed that the ocean floor would be devoid of life and certainly devoid of ecosystems. Then when the first UAVs actually visited volcanic sites on the ocean floor, everyone was astounded to see rich, moderately complex ecosystems. We really need to get under Europas ice - not an easy mission by any means. Personally, I've just got a gut feeling there is life there.

    When looking at those potentially inhabitable planets, would it make sense to equip the probe with instruments to spot other probes which landed there before? How likely is it that we are the only ones interested in such planets? If we are able to pull off such missions so early in our development, other intelligent species, dead or alive, but further developed, would have the same capability (even from way far away). Imagine finding bacteria and whatever on Europa and missing out on a probe or probes of other intelligent species....

    • @6MikeJones9
      @6MikeJones9 2 роки тому

      Well once you've gotten to a level that you're easily sending probes to the far reaches of space, you've probably encountered innumerable from of microbial life. So they would probably be more interested in more developed forms of life and not actively searching for microbial ones. And I'm also guessing that any probe they deployed wouldn't leave any discernable trace behind, on the small chance its been there in the first place. And this is also ignoring the factor of time. Assuming it had been there, and had left a trace, that would have to survive over what period of time? Decades? Centuries? Millenias?

    Until we find out about Europas simple and/ or complex lifeforms if at all. We can play Barotrauma with all the lovely lifeforms ripping and infesting humans trying to fare in uboats/ sub-marines between the stations situated in the upper crust of Europa. Also you should do some collabs with the VSauceman himself. You are similar yet different! Glass clad beardy baldies for science!

    Just recently captured Jupiter and it's four moons with my Canon R8 and a 400mm lens. I had to learn about all the moons. It's pretty mind blowing all the cool things about the moons. Also Just seeing the moons myself was pretty unreal.

      Any organization the size of the DOD would see most of it's funds laundered and funneled away just like our military does. In a way, constrained funding begets creativity and innovation whereas near infinite funds would see many problems brute forced and never efficiently solved. NASA still needs more funding, without a doubt, but giving them trillions would only get us very weak innovation and loads of useless bureaucracy just like our military

    I'd love to see a probe/drill go to Europa! However, there is already SO much we don't even know about our OWN deepest depths of underwater vastness on Earth! If there is oceanic life on Europa, I'm willing to bet that by this point it probably is similar to some of the crazy-looking, alien-like fish that dwell in the depths of our oceans! I also wonder if we did drill through the ice and went down there, how would the underwater environment react with a foreign object (bacteria)... 🤔

    Another feature of Europa that makes it really intriguing from an astrobiology perspective is that radiation from Jupiter has oxidized its surface, meaning that it has oxygen (and sulfate) trapped in its ice. If that oxygen made it into the subsurface ocean through mechanisms similar to plate tectonics (thought to cause some of the cracks on Europa’s surface) it would definitely increase the possibility of life existing inside Europa.

  • @tywag5609
    @tywag5609 3 роки тому +1

    Great video as always. Another thing from what I understand that Europa has going for it is that the sun rays that hit the ice can split the Hydrogen and Oxygen from each other and the gravity is strong enough to keep the Oxygen but week enough to let the Hydrogen escape. Because Oxygen is relatively heavy compared to Hydrogen. So the ocean is probably Oxygen rich as well on Europa.

    After 4.2 billion years, anything that evolved there would have time to become crabs, the perfect body form. Of course, one species is probably a super-intelligent giant crab just waiting to be released from its watery prison to destroy all non-crab life forms in the solar system but it would be awesome!

    The gravitational force of that system deforms the whole structure of the moons, not only the surface, I think. This is in a way like bending or deforming metal, which gets warm when you do so.

    There's also no guarantee that something won't go wrong during that 6 year flight to Europa. Heck, it's got to make it off of Earth first and though sending probes has been more successful than launching spacecraft. There's always (ALWAYS) a chance that it doesn't make it out of our atmosphere. I look forward to the probes. The fact that Europe and the U.S. are sending probes doubles the chances of getting usable information.

    @4:38 The mere fact that liquid water shoots out of geysers proves it has without a shadow of any doubt a subsurface ocean. @15:05 It is also speculated that life on Earth initially formed near hydrothermal vents. It's amazing to think about the variety of complex life that may exist in Europa's subsurface ocean. That dream crusher has no effect on me he is just unimaginative which is unsuitable for a scientist.
