My deepest respect to all the scientists, engineers and technicians behind these projects. Such endeavors are the pinnacle of humble collective effort of thousands of talented people. I am not a part of the mechanism, but that does not mean I cannot share my enthusiasm and show support for projects of this kind.
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 :)

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.

True story. I spotted a fountain on Europa in a photo back in the early/mid 1990's. The photo was on the cover of The Planetary Report, a quarterly magazine you get as a member of The Planetary society. After examining it with a magnifying loupe I was completely convinced of my find. I wrote an actual paper letter to T.P.S. but never heard back. I had a copy of the letter but it was lost when I donated all of the magazines to the local elementary school near where I used to live. Now Hubble gets all the credit for discovering them but I was way before then. I swear this is all completely true.
Since I was a kid, I've always wanted to witness life being discovered elsewhere in the universe. Europa was always the #1 place to look. When I got cancer last year, I cried thinking that I would never get a chance to see life discovered on another world. Thankfully, I survived for now, and I hope I can live long enough to see the Europa mission to its conclusion!
best wishes to you. i hope we all will be able to see it happen. i wish my dad will still be with us to see this. he‘s my nerdy friend i can share these things with. it will be so exciting to witness it together. i wish you and him great health. the celebration is not too far away, that day will be amazing ;)

As a science fan, I always admired Arthur C. Clarke. I’m proud to be Sri Lankan because he made Sri Lanka his home from 1956 until he passed away in 2008. I think he’s the most respected foreigner in our country. When I was a kid, people celebrated him a lot. Even today, schools here teach about him, and he’s remembered with love and respect. His name is still alive in Sri Lanka, even after his death. 🥰
@@chaomatic5328 It's such a good movie. Problem was that people saw it as the sequel to 2001, even though it had a completely different creative team, so the reviews were inevitably "meh". 2001 is a hard act to follow.
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.
If you want a sci fi book about being in an ocean like that of Europa Driving the Deep by Suzanne palmer might be smth that interests you And yes the isolation is absolutely terrifying
Fun fact: The novel and screenplay for "2001: A Space Odyssey" were both written at the same time by Arthur C. Clark and Stanley Kubrick. The book wasn't published until after the film released. The sequels, 2010, 2061, and 3001, were written independently by Clark.
@@ericpode6095 Understandable, honestly. People fawn over Kubrick more than Peter Hyams. 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.
@@ericpode6095 I have not only not forgotten that fact, I have both '2001, A Space Odyssey' _&_ '2010, Odyssey Two' on dvds.❤❤ I like (& got on better with the second film than it's novel version) ...the first film is still my favourite film.
Glad you said this, I made the mistake of reading book 3 and 4. Arthur should not have wasted his time. Just awful books. 2 changed things from one and offered explanations that go contrary to Kubricks movie. But it's still a good read in and of itself. But gosh... 3 is a chore with 0 payoff and 4 is genuinely insulting. Do not read please
this is the most interesting contribution to the topic I have ever seen! Im so glad that there are still explorers out there in opposition to all the idiocracy thats defining our species...
this is actually crazy groundbreaking, to think that if we do actually find life on a microbiological level on europa and that it could evolve one day into something more is absolutely mindboggling. it's like looking back through time to when life on earth was still in its early stages.
According to recent discoveries in mars about the huge water oceans below the surface there's also a chance for mars to have microbiological life @@NatTardis
Love your content. I have been watching you since the beginning back in the scientific notation days, Never Stop Legend I was telling someone about the video on why it feels quicker every year you age, it very cool I think they have a good chance to find something on both moons of Jupiter and Saturns water moon as well.
looks like something you would find on one of the AI-voice misinformation garbage channels. good thing Veritasium is the exact opposite of those channels.
It's bizarre. Most people don't think on the large scale of the universe (myself included) so it's hard to imagine that could actually generate that much heat.
When you showed me the picture of Europa took by Voyager 1, it genuinely brought a tear to my eyes. Humans have gone such a long way from making fire to launching spacecrafts to other worlds. One of the biggest reasons i wanted to become an astronaut when I was little. This video was so emotional to me, thanks Derek!
@@Param_Hayaran the really sad thing about all of this is as far as we know all other planets we knew so far mankind can't inhabitate them without a suit and the only one we can survive without any gear this one we destroy slowly with our greed
Then I would also recommend you to find the pictures from Venus, it's absolutely crazy we have pictures from an environment that is more hostile than anything we can imagine.
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.
There is a caveat After launch it will go back to fly by Earth, then Mars and only then go to Jupiter. This is done to take advantage of gravity assists, which is more efficient meaning the spacecraft needs less fuel and more mass can be spent on science. New horizons probe flew directly to Jupiter and it only took a year but it's a smaller spacecraft and it didn't stop at Jupiter
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.
8:13 check out this guys bookcase. A whole shelf for Carl Sagan, with Star Trek on the other side. Plus he gets to work on the coolest of scientific experiments and work at NASA. That’s so awesome! What a legend! This is my childhood dream, right there.
Always wondered about that one theory about aliens. That the reason no contact has ever been made is bc everything is hiding. That there’s something huge out there that destroys all forms of life that makes itself known.
I am a faithful follower of your Spanish channel Veritasium in Spanish and I adore your videos that make me feel part of a large and wonderful Universe and make me enjoy the scientific dissemination that you do. I am in love with your intelligence and how you teach us to understand the physical world around us. 😊
The output of this channel is second to none…any other channel would take weeks or months for one video like this. But Veritasium is putting out multiple documentary-calibre videos a week. Amazing
I clicked on the video because I got excited about the "attempt no landing there" thumbnail, wondering if it was a reference to "Odyssey Two" and I was not disappointed.
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.
The ancient Egyptians were not smarter than us, they just enslaved a bunch of people and forced them to work until their monument was finished after hundreds of years of work and slavery. We could totally do this now, just not worth it.
Hey Derek! I'm in med school in Switzerland, and my physics teacher has used clips of your videos to explain some concepts! I thought maybe that would make you smile (or laugh, or cry, feel free to do whichever) :)
Derek, I just wanted to congratulate you on, against the odds, maintaining consistent quality while also increasing production value and content volume.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.
People said that "Pyramids are the most marvelous things in the world", and "Sculptures by Michaelangelo or Da Vinci are the most comprehensive things we can imagine" but little did they know that these are just stepping stones of human ability to harness their knowledge and understand the universe little by little. From forming rocks and marbles to Forming maps of heavenly bodies that humanity once worshipped. What a great time to be alive!
Woah this is a cool and actually very relevant video for me; a few days ago my engineering teacher at my highschool had the NASA press conference about the Europa Clipper mission on the projector, and it was fascinating to see that there's a chance for "alien" life in our very own solar system. Excited to see how the mission plays out! (in about 5 years)
If you want proof of alien life just watch the Las Vegas kenmore family video. Hasn’t been debunked and it’s been 6 months now since it’s been proven there’s entities in the video no cgi. Only “debunking” has been personal attacks on the people who helped prove it. Disclosure happened though it may have been small it will ripple eventually. You’ll likely need to watch videos where people point out or zoom in on the entities. There’s multiple. A 9 foot tall one. A really short one. All are cloaked though not perfectly. One’s cloaking even fails momentarily and you see it’s head pop into existence for one second before disappearing. Like I said no cgi.
This tickles my brain. (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.
Cracks creating cycloid shapes due to the propagation of cracks at relatively constant speed, happening over many periods of orbit around Jupiter and therefore many cycles of squishing and relaxing, as long as there is a squishy ocean layer and not solid rock is brilliant
Europa has always been my favourite celestial body, when i found out the ocean's temp. when i was 12. I immediatly knew this place could harbour life. It's so awsome to see giving Europa the attention it deserves.

As a science fan, I always admired Arthur C. Clarke. I’m proud to be Sri Lankan because he made Sri Lanka his home from 1956 until he passed away in 2008. I think he’s the most respected foreigner in our country. When I was a kid, people celebrated him a lot. Even today, schools here teach about him, and he’s remembered with love and respect. His name is still alive in Sri Lanka, even after his death. 🥰
Are the allegations about him false?

it's great to meet a fellow sri lankan and I can most definitely second the claim of him being the most respected foreigner

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.
And NASA is barely squeaking ahead of ESA… tea

I read 2010 first, before 2001. The section on Europans fascinated me the most.
Fun fact: The novel and screenplay for "2001: A Space Odyssey" were both written at the same time by Arthur C. Clark and Stanley Kubrick. The book wasn't published until after the film released. The sequels, 2010, 2061, and 3001, were written independently by Clark.
It also seems a lot of people are either unaware or have forgotten 2010 was also a movie.
@@ericpode6095 Understandable, honestly. People fawn over Kubrick more than Peter Hyams.
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.

I have both '2001, A Space Odyssey' _&_ '2010, Odyssey Two' on dvds.❤❤

...the first film is still my favourite film.
Glad you said this, I made the mistake of reading book 3 and 4. Arthur should not have wasted his time. Just awful books. 2 changed things from one and offered explanations that go contrary to Kubricks movie. But it's still a good read in and of itself. But gosh... 3 is a chore with 0 payoff and 4 is genuinely insulting. Do not read please

7:23 that is astoundingly fascinating. I would've never guessed tidal stretch-induced friction is what maintains the oceans liquid. Impressive.
It's bizarre. Most people don't think on the large scale of the universe (myself included) so it's hard to imagine that could actually generate that much heat.
My Space Exploration professor actually worked on the IR camera on the Clipper, we’re all so excited to see it launch

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!
Left lower corner
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.
You do see the lower left corner yeah?

It’s something to look forward to that we’ve been hearing about for the past 10 years
I KNEW WHAT THIS VIDEO WAS ABOUT JUST BY THE TITLE. THE CLIPPER LAUNCHED ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! I'VE STUDIED EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY CAN ABOUT EUROPA
So it takes 7 years to reach just Jupiter, god we are slow. Mad respect for the patience of scientists and engineers working on the project.
I feel like that too. We are actually slow, unless there is alternative for rocket fuels
There is a caveat
After launch it will go back to fly by Earth, then Mars and only then go to Jupiter. This is done to take advantage of gravity assists, which is more efficient meaning the spacecraft needs less fuel and more mass can be spent on science.
New horizons probe flew directly to Jupiter and it only took a year but it's a smaller spacecraft and it didn't stop at Jupiter
Its not like we are slow, its just space are stupidly big
Its so damn far, much further distance earth to sun. Damn space
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.
So happy that Veritasium made a video on Europa Clipper after I made one few days ago. Now I learn from the master. Thank you for inspiring us!

I am a faithful follower of your Spanish channel Veritasium in Spanish and I adore your videos that make me feel part of a large and wonderful Universe and make me enjoy the scientific dissemination that you do. I am in love with your intelligence and how you teach us to understand the physical world around us. 😊

Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education.
Encelladus, too! I hope we find life! That would change our understanding of the nature of the Universe, i.e. it is meant to create life!
Maybe yours, the abundance of life that has cascaded and collapsed needs to be seen for value, hopefully simple-minded things can grow from it.

"Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"
Oh no
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.
The ancient Egyptians were not smarter than us, they just enslaved a bunch of people and forced them to work until their monument was finished after hundreds of years of work and slavery. We could totally do this now, just not worth it.
I love that this channel never died

Woah this is a cool and actually very relevant video for me; a few days ago my engineering teacher at my highschool had the NASA press conference about the Europa Clipper mission on the projector, and it was fascinating to see that there's a chance for "alien" life in our very own solar system. Excited to see how the mission plays out! (in about 5 years)
If you want proof of alien life just watch the Las Vegas kenmore family video. Hasn’t been debunked and it’s been 6 months now since it’s been proven there’s entities in the video no cgi. Only “debunking” has been personal attacks on the people who helped prove it. Disclosure happened though it may have been small it will ripple eventually. You’ll likely need to watch videos where people point out or zoom in on the entities. There’s multiple. A 9 foot tall one. A really short one. All are cloaked though not perfectly. One’s cloaking even fails momentarily and you see it’s head pop into existence for one second before disappearing. Like I said no cgi.
Love that Robert has a whole shelf of Carl Sagan books!
We’re gonna find the Eliksni with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
This tickles my brain.
(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.
I think it might not be that big of a problem. If I remember correctly, Cassini did that in Enceladus on the Saturn mission
Water ice evaporates in the vacuum so it'll dry off over time
There could be tiny salt deposits left over
I love this channel. The fact the Galileo model had part of its antenna closed was so cool. Very thorough. ☺
Cracks creating cycloid shapes due to the propagation of cracks at relatively constant speed, happening over many periods of orbit around Jupiter and therefore many cycles of squishing and relaxing, as long as there is a squishy ocean layer and not solid rock is brilliant
