    Finding life on Europa would fundamentally change how we look for life throughout the universe. The whole concept of life only existing in the habitable zone would be thrown out the window, so would the concept of life only arising on planets, or on the surface, any solar system that had either planets or moons would be a potential candidate for more life. It would be earth shattering.

It is not easy to explain it shortly and quickly, so I'd suggest searching for "Ethics on Cosmic Scale" to find an elaborate explanation for why this is the case. But in short, ethical maturity of a civilization is utterly incompatible with space settlements, expansion, colonization or even physical space exploration with probes because these can kick-start evolution with possibly billions of years of apocalyptic downstream consequences in which millions of species' animals were to dominantly be suffering, which is what according to scientific studies has been the case for wildlife on earth, which you can find out about on the "animal suffering" Wikipedia page in more detail.

    Probably easier to sample the water plumes ejected from Enceladus, the moon around Saturn. Since there are already vents there and the condition for life are very similar to Europa, getting testing/sampling equipment into the ocean under the ice might be easier. We do live in exciting times. :)

    • @raidermaxx2324
      @raidermaxx2324 Рік тому +4

      yes, but Enceladus is a puddle, compared to abyssal depths of Europa. Also, the ocean of Europa is as old as the solar system, where life has had much more time to form, whereas the water under the southern hemisphere at Enceladus has only existed for a geological blink of an eye, compared to Europa's potential biodome.

      Getting starship working before it needs launching might happen. But there's no way they could get the clearance to launch something like clipper in such a short period of time.
      That being said I think people severely underestimate how much a functioning starship could manage. Assuming the refilling in orbit works, 100t to any orbit would change everything, and the reusability means you could hit literally ever launch window. It would stop being an issue of launch capabilities and become an issue of producing satellites to send.

    They should take advantage of the Clipper space probe 🛰 and add an additional simple probe like the one that landed years ago on Titan. And that they send us some data as they do on Mars. They would make better use of the time and it would not be necessary to wait for 2050 to have some information about the place.

      vodkaboy makes a good point. If we could figure out how to come and go through Europa's ice crust, to and from the ocean, and set up in the ocean, the radiation problem could be manageable. Gravity being low on Europa, the water pressure for any given depth there would be significantly less than on Earth.
