The Europa Clipper is one of my projects! It is going to be a massive size - covering a basketball court when fully deployed.

I’ll be that guy and say no astronaut will be landing there soon, possibly ever, because the radiation from the Jupiter’s equivalent of the Van Allen belts is deadly.
I just imagine a bunch of European mermaids fighting each over aquatic lands, pausing to see a rover enter the ocean, only to go back to fighting each other.

The excitement and wonder is just so evident, and it gives me a great big smile every time! Also, I nearly aspirated my water three times in the course of the video at the unexpected humor, so good job on that as well!
Subnautica wasn't that scary; I just hit silent running whenever something big turned up, and went around slowly. The scariest part was 'oh shit I'm gonna die down here' when I got my Cyclops wedged Austin Powers style and had to get out and basically jump up and down on it in the prawn suit to try and dislodge it.

I love bingeing on all of your channels, but my favorite is Geographics!! I try to catch on some I've missed while showering, and today I almost blinded myself with soap when you said, 'Why do planetary scientists get a stirring in their pants every time they think about........' I love your sense of humor and the way you just casually drop bombs without batting an eye so Thank you, Simon!!! Thank you for teaching me new and interesting stuff about all different kinds of things!! With you the phrase 'learn something new every day' is an understatement!!
The best thing about potential life on Europa is it could easily be Leviathan sized, to the point we should expect to find stuff that large, cold water combined with low gravity and billions of years of stability
Great Video Simon; The Europa Clipper mission definately deserves a lander follw-up mission, surely we need to know definitively whether Europa has life on it to any scale, or whether its just a huge snowball. The findings should prove to be very interesting.
When I watched 2010 as a nine year old many moons ago (sorry), Europa has always fascinated me. Love to see a base on the surface which drills through 15km of ice with underwater exploratory subs lurking through the kinetic depths to find life

God, I LOVE THESE SPACE VIDEOS. The emptiness, the distance, the sheer impossibility of it yet the HOPE is there! Thank you Simon and the team for sparking my interest in such a beautiful and mystical world that is our universe 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
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.
This is stuff I love hearing Simon report on! As opposed to which authoritarian ruler put the most people through a woodchipper who failed to show enough loyalty.
As a Dutchman I was wondering if an iceskating robot would be possible on Europa, but I am afraid that ice is as slippery as concrete at those temperatures.
its on my bucket list too, but i dont know if we are gonna make it, friend.. Our only hope might be emerging from cyro-hibernation 500 years from now, after choosing to not die upon our natural deaths and going into that deep, cold sleep, while the millenials figure out how to beat aging and death.
If there’s any aquatic life under there, it definitely would be the octopus lol. There was actually a thesis / paper put out a few years ago claiming that octopi came from space and it had some legitimate points.
By the time the Clipper arrives... Science may have advanced to the level where... wait for it... wait for it... that Simon may again have... Hair !! Simply amazing !! Love ya Sir !!...
Definitely the best places to look outside the earth for definitive proof after the recent asteroids surveys samples and various martian probe data that is.
Simon I really loved this video. We need to explore Europa using a probe named the "Whistler Probe". This would be the ultimate honor for you Simon. And you can not say the "Whistler Probe" does not have a great sounding name.
I love how a little bit of the Brain Blaze is sneaking into Simon's references on his other challenges. It gives the other channels a bit more personality.
Simon, I think that Squarespace should provide you with a fresh sales pitch. The current one has been running for so long and has become so familiar that the mind automatically tunes it out. If Squarespace can't improve itself then that casts doubt on whether they can improve anything else.
This, the segment on Planet 9 and the other space-centric YTmentaries on this channel COULD go to a separate channel. Say, Astrographics? Just a thought. These are really enjoyable 😊😊
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....
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?
Absolutely fascinating that we have only been launching objects into space for exploration purposes over the last 50 odd years. Look at how much humans have learned about our solar system and galaxy in that time. Now think what we will learn in the next 50, 100 and more? Very exciting, to me at least.
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!
Yes. There’s dregs, vandals, shanks, tracer shanks, servitors, marauders and these brigs that will shred you if you are low level. They got loot drops though.
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.
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.
