- Callisto is a pretty big moon that has some conditions which are very friendly for a human colony. Because of that in this video, I take a look at how we could go about establishing a big colony on this moon of Jupiter and how we could even turn its surface conditions to be even better for humans in the really far future.

Best channel on TH-cam. No ads or sponsors, no long intro, no asking for subs, just pure content. Such a rarity these days.
Wholeheartedly agree
There are ads but it's okay. We can watch one or two of them for such great content
I can count like 3 ads on this video, dude.
@@spitz5183 I mean the ads at the start like "this video was made possible by Squarespace..." or similar ones at the end, I wasn't referring to TH-cam generated ads (which incidentally can be bypassed with an ad blocker).

Obviously, small nuclear reactors would be required to power outpost and eventual colonies on Callisto-- especially during the more than 8 days of night.
It should be easier to shield habitats on Callisto from excessive radiation and micrometeorites-- than on the Moon and Mars-- since all you have to do is fill up a bag of water surrounding the habitat with water just a few meters thick and then allow it to freeze into protective water ice.
Large inflatable habits (biospheres and bio-tori) should be particularly easy to deploy since the external walls can be easily shielded with surrounding water bags that quickly freeze to ice. Biospheres manufactured on Earth and deployed to the surface of Callisto could be up to 50 meters in diameter (if inflated with the same atmospheric pressure that exist on Earth)-- large enough to accommodate a large swimming pool, basketball court, or tennis court in the top half of the biosphere under the biodome. There might even be enough room within the upper half of the sphere to fly around with wings underneath the 25 meter high biodome.
Yes, loads of good points there. Having loads of water around seems like an exceptionally good thing, quite a luxury, because it would, as you say, be very useful for protecting the astronauts in their habitats and workplaces. This would be in addition to all the other essential uses for water, like drinking, washing, splitting to make rocket fuel, and oxygen to breathe.
The two most important things for space exploration - water and power.
Imagine looking up into the sky and seeing Jupiter
It would be best to install the colony on the far side, for humans, for machines, for communication so look at Jupiter would be a tourist stuff
@ Far side; facing away from Jupiter.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Yes so only tourists want to face this monster but I doubt this could be a pleasant moment for the body. The rest of people want to be the other side to be protected from Jupiter.
Imagine looking up into the sky and seeing Uranus
@@raygun26 You can, except it's a dim visual magnitude of +5.7, and your joke is tiresome
Imagine Jupiter, 50 times bigger than the size of Earth’s moon, in Callisto’s sky!Worth the trip, just for that!🚀✨🤩🖖🏻
I don't think it would be as big as that. Callisto is about 5 x as far from Jupiter as the Earth is from the Moon and Jupiter is about 40 x the diameter of the Moon so this would make Jupiter about 8 x the size of the Moon as seen from Earth. Still very impressive
@@AlanRPaine it would look even bigger on Europa :D imagine the beuty
@@fallendown8828 It would be fabulous until you were fried by the radiation
@@AlanRPaine nope, even on IO you can not be fried by radiation, it is not how radiation works
@@fallendown8828 OK not literally fried but Europa with 54000 x the radiation level of Callisto, which itself receives more radiation than the Earth, would not be good for the health without very powerful protection
The legend is back!
I spend a stupid amount of time just reading about the moons of the solar system, and watching TH-cam videos about them, and I never knew about the low surface radiation. You got yourself a new sub.
same XD
Also going down the moon rabbit hole. Fascinating. What’s your favourite moon?
6:44 looks like someone was caught doing something 😂😂
I don't think it's possible to actually have a boner in space, due to no gravity
Oscar Productions its possible for that long donk to float though
Stephanie Logan no
@@oscarproductions7603 no gravity should strengthen a boner.
Welcome back, Dreksler ASTRAL!
22 minutes! keep making them longer, please!
It’s been among the best 22 minutes of my life, frfr!
Great video ❤ I missed you dreksler astral , hope you're doing good .
For power on the scale of colonization, it seems like RTGs makes more sense than photovoltaics. Maybe photovoltaics combined with mirrors to make up for distance from the sun. Or given the ability to mine ice, mirrors for solar concentration, steam turbines and generators.
I always fall to sleep watching your videos, your voice has something to it! So what I did? I gots pillow and closed my eyes with my phone next to my ear watching this video! And I still haven’t finished it.
a really good document. get a subscription right away
Space travel may be for robots only. They don't require food, oxygen, excercise etc. They only need a power source.
When there is will , nothing is impossible . But the problem is there is no will or better say , no funds , lol .
Please more great videos ..
I spent a year on Callisto.
Working as a Venom pilot for G-Police I uncovered a Nanosoft plot to take over the solar system.
Or was that just a playstation game?
It was real. PlayStation was your training. Over time some memories may return. You were a credit for the G-Police. We will contact you again should your special talents be needed.
Ah, I see Callisto orbits *beyond* Jupiter's main radiation belt. That explains the relatively benign radiation (rate) for this moon.
Thank god you are back!
Amazing video!
It seems impractical to send shiploads of water and food to Callisto if the elements in the food are already available there. Instead, it seems like sending the equipment to distill the impure water to high purity would be better for water. For food, it definitely makes sense to send spices and rare foods by ship, with as much freeze dries as possible. But for the bulk of what we eat - cereals, vegetables and basic meat and fish - it makes more sense to send the equipment and extras need to bootstrap hydroponics and/or soil, with using as much local materials as possible for substrates and structures. Capture CO2 from the atmosphere - use the ammonia as nitrogen fertilizer. Ship vitamins, drugs, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sulfur, microbial cultures .
14:21 - Hey... a Buck Rogers' Thunderfighter. I'd recommend using a moon bus rather than a starfighter. :p
Sounds like a good place for remote automated farms. If we could make them.
Seems kind of lonely to remain there.
Lets goo your back
Their lettuce will be the talk of the town.
I don't think we'll be able to do it until we get a base up and running on the moon. Sending stuff from Earth to Callisto is hard. The moon, with only 1/6 gravity and no atmosphere, is a much better launching point.
Yeah Moon is perfect to stop and refill and the next stop could be Mars and Ceres. Mars is probably be the second home so maybe colonizers of Callisto could be Martians and not Earthlings, who knows :D
Ok so would it be better colonizing colisto than marz im abit like wondering why its nice to think
Finally my favorite space TH-camr 🖤🌌
14:23. Buck Rogers star fighter! Called a “Thunderfighter”, I think....
awesome
Sounds Like Someone's Not Feeling well...
Hope you get Better Bro!
A pretty good video and also there are good ideas behind it. You did a good research before making this video. Indeed the radiation levels on Callisto is lower than the other closest moons and hopefully some day we can colonize and terraform all these "lifeless" rocks. My idea for terraform is we need to use the asteroids in the kuiper belt and oort. There is plenty of objects that can add some volume and materials to make the environment better. Current technology is not enough for it but this thing is not our duty. The next generations will do this when they figure out how to do it but worth a try. Almost all objects which are largen in radius then 500 km are able to do colonies. Even asteroids could be used for making colony but only for mining and research purposes. I would like to add some of the moons from Uranus, Neptune or Jupiter and Saturn to Mercury, Mars, Venus to make them more viable also make these moons more suitable. Destroying objects would not be preferable and I would only get matter from asteroids and lend from gas giants because thesse planets have plenty of gases what could be pressurised and use building materials. If we can add more mass we could make the gravity stronger also making some extra options to generate magnetic field which would be needed.
I would like to see a colonization video about all objects in our solar system.
He just looked 300 years into the future 😅😅😅
Since Ganymede (unlike Callisto) has a protective magnetosphere, why not suggest Ganymede as an alternative to Callisto?
Do them both
Wouldn't body atrophy if hibernating?
Can you make a video about venus that if it has life because of the latest news that it has been detected phospine Dreksler Astral

They could have 2 or 3 similar habitats equidistant over the equator, and travel between them before the night settles in
I would suspect that IF this was ever attempted, solar panels will NOT be enough to allow for any practical industrial manufacturing. This would be the ultimate goal to independence.
Instead, fission reactors will be needed if fusion is not advanced enough.
It is possible that THORIUM reactors could be used. A few experimental prototypes have been tested here on Earth, and have some merit. They will of course need to be further developed.
Fusion reactors, once they are efficient enough, can likely also serve as an energy source for places like Callisto, since Helium 3 can be harvested from Jupiter’s upper atmosphere and other places, while Deuterium can be extracted from Water, which should be in plenty supply considering the geography of the Galilean moons.
I love these videos
Could you imagine Captain Kirk having any interest whatsoever in beaming down to the surface of Callisto?
Mr. Spock sends a secret message to the extragalactic aliens who built the Doomsday Machine.
I think this idea is a bit of a reach at our current tech, possible, but not probable.
I was scrolling down the list and I just smoked a joint and my eyes were very squinted. And I swore that the thumbnail looked like a clip from Family Guy. The round shape of the tower looked like the back of Stewie with a winter jacket on and he's staring of into the dark. Like I said I was high. But try it and see for yourself.
make more of these pls
Thanks for uploading a new video man 💜 the videos as always 👏🏽👏🏽
why wouldn’t you be able to drink water from ice on callisto?
We could do it!
The idea of a bunch of people just getting there for no reason and making up whatever kind of government they want shows a big misunderstanding of how human beings work. First off people aren't going anywhere there isn't an economic reason for being and second they will be entirely dependent on whatever government, corporation or whatever is sending their food.
Why can NASA colonize a satellite in such a distant place when NASA is only looking at the nearest moon?
NASA is crazy.
Because satellite’s are AI and they would send info and power to us and they are unstable with humans on satellites that are not made for. Humans to land on
You sound just like Georgio Tsoukalous from ancient aliens !
A nuclear reactor would be a more reliable power and it would be necessary to supply all energy needed.
Calisto is far too cold for humans to live on.
Could we build a space elevator there? So we could do construction in orbit as much as on land?
Is the atmosphere low enough in density that we could fire objects into orbit with magnetic launchers?
Elevators should be possible (the gravity is weak enough you could probably build one with conventional materials) and the atmosphere is quite insignificant so launchers should also work. The real question is, who's paying for all of it?
@@casuallatecomer7597 Home equity line of credit.
Callisto does not have an atmosphere to speak of. Its pressure is about 10^-12 or one trillionth that of Earth.
As for a space elevator, it would be harder than on Earth as Callisto is tidally locked, so a synchronous orbit above one point on its surface is not possible. The only possibility I can see if to place the top of the elevator at the L1 or L2 Lagrange points, but they would not be gravitationally stable.
@@outbackigloo6489 interesting, and good to know that a magnetic launcher would be the way to go on that moon.
You gave me an idea: Do you think power could be generated by hanging a conductive coil between the surface of Europa and its L1 point? The coil sweeping through Jupiter's intense magnetic field could be used to power a variety of equipment.
Other than precious metals why would we go there?
Tell that certain tribe it's made of gold and silver.
Great video.
It would be so cool to say:
-Where are you going to spend your holidays this year?
-This year we are going to Callisto
The holiday trip alone would last more than a year. lol.
Just dont forget to pack your speedos
@@IndronilAnik
When this will be possible, be sure it won't.
@@IndronilAnik Well, if spaceships in the future could constantly accelerate and decelerate at 1g, if my math is right, it would take only 140 hours to get to Callisto. The 1g acceleration solves the problem of gravity on spaceships and it is fast, so a win win. Hopefully this will eventually be possible.
@@jacksonstempel3382 Well there is this little problem of enormous radiation from Jupiter, but who can say, maybe one day even this could not be an issue.
Finally someone talking seriously about Callisto while everyone just seems to care about Europa, Enceladus and Titan.
Well i care about Iapetus tethys dione hyperion mimas and enceladus
I care about Charon.
@Skipping Stones actually yea it kinda does some astronomers only care about those 3 popular moons
@@iapetus6110 They also have oceans under the surface, but everyone just mentions Europa and Enceladus like they're the only ones.
@@MarkHobbes not all saturnian major moons have oceans under the surface its frozem
22 minutes and 58 seconds of Dreksler Astral? What did we do today to deserve this gift? 🎁 🤷♂️ 🙏
Great! Do Ganymede next. It would be interesting if the magnetosphere it has, would be advantages for colonization even though the radiation is higher there.
Is Ganymede thin exosphere plus their magnetosphere enough to protect humans in its surface?
@@MarkHobbes no,humans would die without the space suit
I would like very much to see a serious scenario of terraforming ganymede considering the fact that it has it own Magnetosphere...!!!
sometimes i wish i was born like 500 years into the future to see how advanced we’d be
Nope, human civilisation will collapse before the turn of 24th century
Thats probably what people 500 years ago said too.
@@hughjass4838 yeah in İslam (which is one of the most influvencer religions in the world) says "world will end soon but no other creature other than god knows when" and after 1400 we are still here so i will just assume we can survive if we do things right like colonize Mars and more energy more sustainable and other good stuff
Literally Callisto protocol
@@hamoshytube1853humanity will have a self sustaining colony on mars hundred of years before that, if mars is real.

I know how hard it took but your videos are amazing to watch and more understandable.
Thanks for not treating us like serf peasant content slaves and excluding all the filler clips, dumb intros, begging for subscribers, and providing us with informational, no nonsense and genuinely interesting videos. Your patient approach is much welcomed too 👍🙏
This video is great. The big problem with humans being away from the Earth for along time is immunology. Away from earth for 3 years, get back 1 cold, you are dead. I knew a guy who worked for the Antarctica survey, and they only spent 6 months there for immunology reasons.
Interesting.
Yes you are absolutely correct. I was stationed in Antarctica and it was a six months deployment. I was support Personnel for the scientists.
By the way, oxygen generators are found on nuclear Submarines.
I can see why Krafton chose this moon as the main setting of his epic sic-fi story. Two questions still remain though.
1. How should the colony plan a construction of a new prison on Callisto?
2. What protocols could we do to protect the inmates from a possible hostile alien takeover from Callisto and turning the prison into a labyrinth of horrors?
It would be easier just to send AI and access their sensory data. Humans are simply not sustainable in space - radiation, gravity, air, feeding, wastage ... and none of these have any margin for error. Scott Kelly showed how even in the ISS, which is largely protected by Earth, a single year deeply impacts human bodies. This was a super fit and healthy astronaut - far more robust than most of us - and he needed a long period of rehab on Earth afterwards to recover. As you noted, the mental stress for long distance human explorers would be far greater.
Omg finnaly I am space addicted to this channel. Absolutely awesome video.
👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
Great video! It's also worth considering the delta v requirements of getting to and from Callisto compared with the other Galilean moons. It's surprisingly difficult to get around there due to Jupiter's enormous gravity well.
I mean it depends. If you can just enter in orbit around Jupiter, and send a probe to Callisto from the orbit, it might, just maybe, be less difficult than you might think.
That gravity well would also allow space craft to use it to accelerate ...
@@davidhollenshead4892 Unfortunately, a gravity assist from Jupiter would only allow acceleration relative to the sun, not Jupiter or its moons. You could get gravity assists from the other moons, but that means a circuitous route in a highly radioactive area of space.
Truly Amazing detailed video 😍😍, salute to your efforts 👏👍
Crazy idea here but what about crashing the Jovian moons into each other to create something with a little more mass and gravity? It would better hold onto an atmosphere and better sustain humans. For obvious reasons I suggest calling this new moon Minerva.
wow it is actually crazy :D this would be a great sci-fi film but it is defiifelly impossible for non type 2 civilization and might not even worth it. But it was cool to think abouth it thanks :)
The moons would also take millions of years to cool of and merge after the crash though, and by that point I’m sure we’ll have the technology to solve the problem of gravity and radiation
Your best installment yet. Very well done. More like these please. The radiation differences between the jovian moon was fascinating.
Thank you for this channel! Your videos about space are the most relaxing videos on TH-cam, they help me get through my assignments for Uni. Thank you again and keep the good work!
The best science/space channel on TH-cam! Kee up the good work Dreksler!
Dude thank you for such a long video on such an interesting topic. Not even five minutes in and I'm in full support for #OccupyCallisto
I really wanted to go to bed but could not leave the screen due to his incredible imagination. From natural generation, the government, declaration of independence to adding nitrogen and creating a global ocean. Wow.
Recently discovered your channel. Absolutely excellent and fascinating content and visuals! Also, your English has improved drastically since your first video. Great channel. Please keep making new content.
Because we live on the surface of Earth, too many people think in terms of settling the surface of moons, but this is wrong. Colonies would be built inside large caverns, which would be easy to construct in the low gravity.
Great video. A base on Callisto could be used to send robotic explorers to Europa and elsewhere
You're back! Your videos are very amazing ! They are actually the best! 🎉
Interesting question: is Callisto covered in a layer of dust like mars and the moon, not having enough or any wind to clear off the rocks?
yes it is one of the most similar object to our Moon. But it is just bigger so it is also nice
There are a lot of Earth-like planets we may someday visit and/or populate but first I'm sure we'll take advantage of what our solar system offers.
All the other planets out in the universe are all going to be at risk for mankind only because the Earth was made for mankind not the other planets.

I love this video. It's really well explained.
But I have a question: why Humans would want to live on other planets? Like, why would any investor spend billions and billions of dollars just to get humans on another planet while this money can be used to save earth.
Yup! There has to be something there that makes it a good financial opportunity.
@@dankuchar6821 yep, an opportunity to rule an entire planet, not just a country...
overpopulation. Asia and Africa population growth is unsustainable
Snowflake comment. What would be learned in any attempt to occupy another moon or planet would be invaluable in our understanding of means by which we can "save Earth," by which I assume you mean reverse anthropogenic climate change, clean the plastic out of the oceans, and similar causes. However, there have been many extinctions visited upon Earth long before the present industrial age and it's the events that cause them that augur for expanding off our planet. One big concern is comets and asteroids that might impact Earth. True, it's a rare occurrence, the most recent probably being a barrage of comet fragments that struck the North American ice sheet, incinerating forests and grasslands, obliterating the megafauna and the Clovis culture that hunted them, and causing immense floods from impact-melted ice that precipitously raised the sea level over 100 meters, wiping out human settlements on every seacoast worldwide. Going into space will improve our ability to detect and deter comets and asteroids. Saving our species from annihilation is exactly the aim of Elon Musk, currently the world's fourth-wealthiest person, and he's prepared to spend every dime getting a self-sustaining human colony started on Mars in attempt "to preserve the light of reason."

Also... this is a looooong video! Hopefully we’ll see more uploads like this.
Doesn't really make sense. It's too far away and conditions there are too harsh for easy settlement. Better option would be to start to teraform Mars so that in time it could sustain life without as much support and (longer term) to settle on Titan. Titan is the future.
Hopefully by the time astronauts visit Callisto, it won't take us 1 and half years to get to this moon.Maybe by 2060, take us 3 to 4 months to travel to Jupiter. Fueled rockets of today will be the thing of the past and faster ways to go any where in the solar system will be possible.
I love your channel but for some reason your videos are never recommended to me so i forget to watch your videos.
To be healthy humans need 1G gravity. Low gravity long term will not work.
Why calisto??. Far far cheaper easier sustainable is our own Moon. Answer me
Wouldn't the lack of significant atmosphere to provide lift make flight extremely difficult?

You had better colonise Callisto within the next 50 years because there won't be much left of planet Earth.

Merci, great subject well explained, a kind of candy video for my mind

No. Callisto is a dynamic moon with subsurface liquid strata and alien conditions...... also, unfortunately, long term exposure from the high levels of radiation around Jupiter along with electromagnetic anomalies (really pulses) will confound colonizing any of Jupiter's moons.😵💫🫨=😵
