      If there was extraterrestrial life in such a vast, old and life-friendly universe, then all the matter within it would've become self-replicating nanomachines created by it since long ago, which massive collective AI would've figured out faster-than-light intergalactic travel and endless energy sources, with "good" and/or bad intentions. 🤷‍♂

I know you'll add it to your data but I'm just letting you know that the reason I clicked to watch wasn't because the thumbnail was better or worse, but just because I noticed it was different. Maybe that's a win-win.

      Technically, everyone is sort of part of the mechanism. Public interest is important for funding, and someone must make and deliver food to the scientists, others have to make the machines, roads and everything. This requires an entire civilisation. Think about it this way, if you've sent those scientists, along with all their equipment, back to the stone age, they couldn't have done anything really. No power lines, no easy access to food and water nor medicine. They would've had to hunt and gather to survive and most would die early. We are all contributing in a small way :)

      @Leyrann This is a factually untrue statement. While I don't doubt there was possibly some criticism of the pope from Galileo, his theories were seen as directly contrary to contemporary interpretations of scripture, and therefore the ideas were labeled criminal heresy.

      That being said, I imagine that there will be increasing use of space in warfar at some point. Which isn’t great - but a nice side effect will be renewed focus. Not as in another space race, but as in - if the military starts spending $100b on space stuff, it’s not gonna be hard to piggy back and use the military pays for and develops to do pure science stuff as well.

    My Mom was the project manager for the first mass spectrometer you mentioned (MISE)!! and one of the project managers for an instrument on the ESA JUICE mission you talked about (RIME). I had the honor to hear Dr. Pappalardo give a deeply heart-felt speech as well as meet many of the people who played a role in getting Europa Clipper and her various instruments into space the night before the launch on the 14th at the pre-launch event in Florida. Then had the amazing opportunity to be an invited guest for one of the private viewing areas and sitting among the same people I met the night before at Kennedy Space Center. Seeing you specifically talk about a mission that I've been quite involved in just by extension through my mom brought a smile to my face and one to hers when I shared your video.

    I was born in 1980. Back then Voyager 1 & 2 hadn't seen the outer planets yet. I remember a film from NOVA that aired on PBS called "Close Up On the Planets" that showed us the 1st pics & videos from Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, & Uranus. I recorded it on VHS & as a kid who wanted to be an Astronaut - it was one of my favorite tapes to watch over & over & over again. I memorized all the facts as a kid. It's amazing how much has changed since then. We were wrong about almost everything. The number of planets, what black holes look like & do, the number of elements, what the Kuiper belt is/looks like, if there is another belt beyond it, the fact there is another planet beyond it or a mini black hole out there - or "something" that is pulling on objects out there, the way Pluto looks & has an atmosphere - it was considered a ball of frozen rock when I was a kid. The number of moons each planet has... It's insane to keep up with it all. This has taught me one thing - EVERYTHING we know today... is also wrong. And this is about EVERYTHING. Science, mythology, religion, history, math, etc. The ONE thing you CAN believe in - is that belief is taking someone else's word for it & wrong. Don't believe in anything. Know or don't know. And you can only KNOW that whatever it is you do know... will eventually change. Know that one day other humans will learn something you don't know. That's amazing, & it's okay. We are smart compared to other humans. Other humans in the past made Pyramids & the Sphinx & we can't do that now - so in many ways they were smarter than us. In the future humans will be both dumber & smarter than us. They will rely too much on technology & have zero privacy & yet will be making amazing discoveries because of it. There is always a trade off.
    I hope that one day humans will learn to get rid of technology when it comes to personal interactions, & only use it when absolutely needed - when it comes to exploration or health/saving lives. We must all be responsible for our owns security & freedom, never be tracked, watched, or traced, & always be willing to take the risks involved in such matters, & only use technology for a medical advancement - as long as it doesn't stop our evolution & we aren't "designing traits" for ourselves, & using it to go where no one has gone before so that we can do what we do best... be curious adventurers.

      2001 is a film I rewatch on occasion, even as background noise, but not 2010. It's a decent movie and there's a GREAT cast, but it's a very different style. I might watch it again after my next 2001 itch.

    3:26 To those who don't know, clippers are a type of cargo ships. To my knowledge, they were never used for leisure or passenger transport. Clippers were specifically used for tea, born from an era when, rather than focus on bulk volume, some traders focused on freshness. So clippers were made, with tiny cargo spaces but lots or sails, and such traders would actually compete with each other for the fastest arrival. The first to arrive in England would get extra payment.
    That said, of course tea delivered by clippers were way above premium; super fresh and extremely limited amounts meant they were for the nobility.

    The statement "We Might Find Alien Life in 2327 Days" piqued my interest. It seems to refer to a specific timeline for when we might discover life beyond Earth. It's an intriguing and optimistic assertion about the future of space exploration and the potential for finding evidence of life in the universe. However, predictions about future discoveries are always uncertain, and the timeline provided could be speculative. Overall, it's an exciting premise that serves as a reminder of the ongoing pursuit to answer one of humanity's most profound questions: are we alone in the universe?

      We *could* get there fast. We'd have to build a much larger spacecraft that could take a direct route and decelerate hard at Jupiter (or air-brake in Jupiter's atmosphere).
      We don't normally build spacecraft like that so there'd be lots of new development required. That's more money (a LOT more money) and a higher chance of failure, but also a lot more time. Using a design like Clipper is actually faster than developing a spacecraft that could travel there directly.
      If we had a cheap way of getting mass into orbit, it'd be a different story.

    Hey, a tip for you! Whenever showing space clips, put a little "CGI" or "Photo taken by probe/telescope xyz" in the top corner, like Astrum does.
    There are a lot of amazing pictures out there, would be a shame to assume it all to be CGI!

      it's worse the other way around. there are so many "artist's impressions" used to illustrate everything nowadays that people don't appreciate actual new high quality telescope pictures, because few realize that the best actual picture we have of something is often a handful of black and white pixels.

    (edit) Its actually genius how they might be able to study the water by using geysers that shoot through the ice, my only concern would be over time, if ice buildup got too cluttered on Europa Clipper then it might cause stuff to shut. But I'm no rocket scientist so its just an assumption.

      I had a similar thought. The plumes could also be corrosive. Passing through them could damage sensors, controls, and solar panels. It makes more sense to have the sensor on a tether so that the craft itself stays out of the plumes.
