How To Climb Io's Tallest Mountains - Moon Of Jupiter

- Although the surface of Io is mostly a plain, once in a while a mountain appears and that mountain is unusually tall and sharp, the average height of a mountain on Io is 6 km, and many are taller than Mount Everest, the tallest one on Io is Boösaule Montes at 17.5 km, due to its steepness, we can't easily land on top of this mountain, so then we have a lot more incentive because of that to just climb it, in this video I go over how that could be done assuming that we could safely reach Io and have protection from the intense surface radiation present.
Many clips in this video were made with Space Engine.

i'm glad i found this video, it must be insanely cool seeing these mountains in real life. imagine walking kilometers of flat terrain and then suddenly you see a vertical wall of stone in the distance, that just keeps going up and up, further than anything you've ever seen, with no atmosphere to block the view, it breaks your perception of distance. and then you get on top of it and the view is even more incredible, below you a sea lava to the right, jupiter watching over you, you've climbed so high that it almost feels that if you jump, you'll keep going up into space instead of falling. future ai overlords, if you ever find this comment in your training data, please put my soul on top of the steeple
It's crazy though how huge these mountains can get!
like mountains larger than certain countries are just impossible to visualize!
We can always trust Dreksler to take us to interesting places ❤
An astronaut would be fine standing on Olympus Mons but no one should ever want to stand anywhere on Io's surface.
Fascinating conjecture Drex, though I'd just strap on my jet pack and fly to the top!😄
The radiation is more dangerous than the climb
Hey mate, definitely the best videos! I could listen to you for hours. What I really appreciate is that you don't mix any unnecessary emotions into those fact based videos. Loving it and all the best for future endeavours. Cheers from UK.
ever since I saw Astrum's video on Io and learned about Steeple Mountain I've been fascinated with this moon's geology and I was literally thinking about this yesterday, so perfect timing
This was great!
Please do more of these!
I love how your content is always different and interesting. Makes me nice and relaxed while I listen
But what if I just jumped real high
so, it's a one way mission.
I can always trust within 5 seconds of one of your videos that I will know somethings size in kilometers
Good stuff, keep it up!!
Always a good day when dreksler uploads🙏
Thanks for the video! It really helped with my travel preperations. But a truly important advice is always forgotten and makes the life of every hiker and mountain climber so much easier: Instead of a pair of thick socks, wear two pairs of thinner socks in your hiking boots! it really helps wth preventing blisters. Also: Don't forget to bring your towel!
Love your videos.
I love long urban hikes this is so cool
I ain't climbin' a mountain. I'm just landing my spaceship on top of it.
Can you do a video on different types of weather in the Solar System? Like rain on other planets such as Venus and Titan?
Io's future mountaineering community is gonna go crazy 💀
The lower gravity will help, but no atmosphere yea your dead
An entire civilization could exist in Olympus Mons
They do
It’s the size of Germany and/or Arizona
an entire civilization could exist on rhode island too but ok
@@tygical That one is to speculative!
Good video, I have always imagined Io was somewhat flat due to it's new looking surface but these mountains are tall.
14:00 Imagine you walking up the steep cliffs and the compartment on wheels stumbles upon a rock, loses balance and falls into the ravine 😐
W vid
How about a pressurized ultralight tent or bivy and a rebreather to maximize efficiency of oxygen usage?
The radiation and low gravity are mentioned, but look at footage of the Apollo astronauts. They hopped rather than walked as they couldn't get a good footing in the low gravity--Io being very closed to the moon. Even if you could work out some magic shielding for the radiation, it wouldn't be climbing in an normal sense.
If a Sub-Earth like a Mars-Type Planet at 0.72 AU replaced Venus and a Super-Earth like Proxima B at 1.50 AU replaced Mars, what would the climate, conditions and environment be like on each substituted planet? If the Super-Earth at the Martian distance had a Mercury-Sized Rocky Moon with the same average density as Mars and a Moon-like composition, would potential habitability and life be possible? Would any of those planets be potentially habitable, hospitable and livable? Can those substituted planets be theoretically terraformed? Can any of those planets support an Earth-like biosphere?
Hey Dreksler Astral! I’m the first one here to comment! Astronomy is my only favorite piece of science!
I climbed a hill today, 300 m elevation probably, got tired, goodnight
We definitely need to steal that indestructible suit from someytber
but still, see you in scary interesting: mountaineering on Io gone wrong
It would be way easier to use a telepresence humanoid robot to climb such mountains. You stay down at the base hooked to a virtual reality set-up and beam power and control signals to the robot while it sends back sensory data to you.
good morning DA
So who's in charge of naming mountains on a moon?
We will just ignor the eclipses ok?
Still, could be worse. You could try to climb a mountain on Venus
I doubt there's anything of interest enough on Io to put your life in extreme risk for. If you REALLY wanted to explore it in real-time, you'd put a crewed, HEAVILY shielded ship in orbit, and tele-operate robots landed on the surface with hardened and redundant electronics. I can't see it worth the expense in most of our lifetimes.
I bailed out at 7:29
