Your content is superb, Alex. What I love most is someone who is as passionate about space as I am. I have never supported channels, but I honestly believe you deserve it. 🎉 love from South Africa 🇿🇦
"Can we study extraterrestrial oceans?"
"We have oceans at home."
To be fair we’ve mapped mars better than the oceans
The old "not enough learned about our own homeworld" excuse 😯
We're here, why should we go over there?
I can think of many many reasons.
Doing both is more interesting.
"No no no, you don't understand, that's _why_ we're trying to leave."
and there's the underwater variation of UAPs - ex Navy folks have accounts just like the better known airmen accounts
They're looking for a very VERY special starfish, a rare expensive crab, a long nosed squid, and a small yellow dish sponge.
I got stuck on starfish being a space reference....... Can't tell you how many times I read that 👏🤣
Bikini bottom
🎉🎉🎉bikini bottom
Well in that case, i think weve already found em😆
And can confirm the
SECRET FORMULA: 🦀
Is dis da Krusty Krab?
Wow TH-cam actually notified me about a video right as it was updated and not 2 days later? Wild.
Ikr
This is for space travel. They're literally a space agency. Lmao
You actually get notifications? Lucky
You must be real naughty ! 😉
Still waiting for my Astrum "Ding"... Found it by accident, also found out that after a update, most of my Notification Bell checks were unchecked 😐 why YT. Why
They’re getting ready for a mission to Europa!
Uho.... we're not supposed to attempt any landing there! 🤭
I wish
Oh do I hope you're right!
@@JoranaRowan why?
@@alizaidanthamyeez740 2001 Space Odyssey reference.
Never really considered it, but testing in the deep sea could be a good proving ground for Venus missions. Could test some materials at super high pressures
Europa, Enceladus, both are believed to have oceans and NASA has talked about submarine missions for years. Venus will melt any electronic systems we can currently build.
The pressure part is already solved. What is holding us back is the temperature. At surface Venus pressure is "just" the same of 900m depth on Earth. There are several submarines that routinely go there.
@@sysbofh and the acidity.
We are intending to go to Europa, which is an ocean world (or moon if you prefer), makes sense to test things in an ocean.
@@M1ggins It's solved too. Everyday we transport strong acids, this is a known quantity.
What we can't do (yet) is electronics that stand 450C. Even batteries are already solved (take a look at molten batteries). In fact, those batteries would feel right at home.
Okay enough, youve convinced me.
I'll replay subnautica again.
*sighs, unzips subnauctica and below zero files*
😂😂😂😂 fucking love those games
Most underrated comment! I love the first Subnautica ❤
I was always so confused why there’s so much focus on space when there’s a whole ocean we haven’t explored.
Yeah we have been exploring the ocean before space. Space just became popular sense it’s out of this world.
I'm not saying it's aliens...........................but it's definitely aliens.
Obviously not.
@@dogwalker666 ಠ_ಠ
@@dogwalker666 Obviously.
@@vaenii5056 Lol. Nice fantasy but nope.
@@dogwalker666 It's never aliens.
Thank you Astrum for another top tier quality video. I'd love to see some more content from you based on our oceans and the deep somewhat alien world. You have one if the best narration voices ever. You would not be out of place on the BBC. I love your content you somehow make what is already interesting even more so. I shall support you on patreon as soon as i am able to do so. For now i make sure to press like on every video i watch. Wholeheartedly, thank you Astrum.
NASA finally realised that the oceans are just as much an alien world as the countless planets in our heavens...
NASA does what it's allowed to do through funding. They've realized many things for decades. It's the federal government who has to be convinced.
Why call it alien when it's literally from our planet haha
@@johnnymitnick we have only explored 5% of our oceans. That's about as alien as it can be.
Whut? Brother nasa is not founded neither funded to work on ocean "alien life" but can learn a lot on plate tectonics, sediments-just to understand other planets...
Shouldn't NAOA be doing all this instead ?
NASA needs it's budget for "up there".
Subnautica is a terrifying game about an alien ocean
I love that game 😂 I would not want to meet the creature's in that , for sure .
@@MardyMotherThe reaper Leviathan says hi
And its absolutely epic ❤
great informative video as always.. Keep it up!
Being interested in animals, the deep ocean and space.. my mind sometimes goes down the rabbithole into what else biology and evolution could come up with.
Ironically humans seem to be the only animals so interested in other animals 😂 like I don’t see cats studying mice and dogs 😂😂 that just hit me
@@dreammaker9642 haha yeah it's quite remarkable and funny if you really think about it. We're the only one going "OH!!! Look at that random animal doing something relatable or totally weird" 🤭
IDK who first said it but I remember some quote about us being the universe, staring back at itself. I quite like that perspective ^^
@@CenarosNL I do like that perspective 😂 although sometimes the way my cat would look at me he was definitely thinking “what is this chimp up to now?” 😂 lmao as I’m writing this my dog also gave me that look on queue 😂
this inspired me so much, thank you team Astrum ❤❤
Nasa's budget cuts got too low, they are trying to find treasure at this point xD
Shh. As long as we get pretty pictures.
Couldn't be more wrong 😂 our gov prints money out of thin air and spends trillions of unaccounted dollars
@@thecooldude71 NASA spending budget is really sad tbh.
@@thecooldude71 Have you seen how low NASA's budget is? It's like 0.8% of the total US spending
@@thecooldude71yea but none of that is on nasa, They’ve been getting nothing but pay cuts recently.
Excellent episode! Thank you for all the hard work you do!
Thank you Alex and your team. I enjoy your well-expressed enthusiasm about exploration of these challenging places...
Perhaps preparing for future Europa mission?Gotta test those space-submarines on the harshest earth ocean before they dive into alien ocean.
也许是在为去木卫二的任务做准备？木卫二潜水器肯定得在最严峻的地球海洋里测试后才能去外星海洋里冒险。
Great video as always. Thanks Alex!
So we can go into space, but not to the bottom of the ocean.
And nobody questions this…
Yup!
NASA has PLENTY of experience working underwater
I was born to question this stuff.
You don’t understand pressure, do you?
Read up on what cave divers have to do when going down so many feet, how long it takes them to resurface to acclimate their bodies as they can’t just swim directly up. We can’t just freely go down into the ocean and back up with no issues.
You see what happened to the Oceangate stuff with the submersible, right? Pressure caused it to cave in like a squashed can and _pop_ … and they were in something designed to go down so many feet, but you can’t be down there long.
We can’t exactly protect equipment and people going down that far to the very bottom. We’ve only been able to go down so many feet below sea level, but places like the Mariana Trench are nigh impossible for us to freely go down into towards the bottom completely even with proper equipment we have today that allows us to go so many feet down. The pressure there is THAT immense.
We’re able to do it with space due to no gravity, but the gravity here on earth causes the pressure to be much more. It’s basic common sense … and it’s scary how many people watch videos like this and get TikTok tier news fed to them and think they’re being intellectuals while thinking everyone else is dumb despite completely misunderstanding (or intentionally ignoring) basic science. Come on …
This particular question has been answered at least 15 times on youtube alone. 1 google search and you get an answer.
But God forbid you'd actually look something up right
@@JoeyP946 im talking about technology, not funding.
Really loved this close to home posting - thanks Alex
As well as being fascinating and informative, your content is so uplifting too.
Wonderful video ! Thank you for sharing . Happy Friday to you !
Awesome videos as always say man
Aliens: disappear into the ocean on Navy footage
NASA:
I wish I could live forever to experience these events when it happens. =/
Oh Don't worry, we get reincarnated. So you'll see it, you just wont remember wanting to.
Noooooo you don't lol Just be glad you live now when you do, it might seem rough but that's because you got nothing to compare it to. Be happy.
@@genericalfishtycoon3853 Daddy Elon gonna give us Robot Bodies and we're gonna out-live the sun!!.. (or maybe a Week cause Daddy gave us a Temu battery pack)
@@rogerwilco1777 lol Temu battery packs, they'd probably just explode. 😅
I feel the same way
Fascinating! Excellent work, thanks 👍
Fantastic video. Thanks Alex & team!
The ocean is really just the first layer of the atmosphere.
Thanks!
This is really exciting stuff!
Well done. Thank you!
about damn time!
Why would a dominant species hide away in the depths and darkness of the Oceans when they could live on the Continents?
It was great as always, perfect 👍
Awesome episode thx 👌
Marine biologists who I've seen asked about the whole "never having mapped the ocean floor", the response was generally, "We don't need to, we know what's down there already."
What is it? Is it sand? It gotta be sand right?
Wouldn’t the same argument apply for mapping land?
@@SerfinBird sand and those covid face masks
More accurately you don’t want to know what’s down there. However the “90% of the ocean is unexplored” part isn’t accurate cause 90% is actually just plain open ocean of nothing. Life is a lot more localised than you think.
@@dreammaker9642now you really believe 90% is just “plain” ocean. I got a few bridges for you, only $20 mil each
Just stay clear of the Despair Squid. It can prove problematic.
Damn, bloke. I watched that episode last night. 😂
Love a good RD reference 😅
Got this 7days late. Glad it showed up great video.
Alex, this episode was fantastic!
Whats NASA looking for at the bottom of the ocean? Well we all know that's where the aliens live 🤣🤣🤣
2:30 _NASA was founded in 1958_
During the International Geophysical Year
'Neath The Halo Of A Streetlamp'....
Question: If we've not mapped but just over 25% of our ocean how do they know that the maryenna trench is the deepest part of the ocean ?
Exactly......finally somebody who thinks like me!!!@stacynapier26
yess two of my favourite things, space and the deep ocean
So apparantly aliens come from the ocean now. Maybe that's why they're there lol.
Bots jumped on this FAST
Thanks, Alex! 🪸
Excellent video!! . Watched this movie Europa Report last night and woke up and this was the first thing that popped up. Gotta love that Algorithm!! I didn't know NASA had a base submerged beneath the ocean.
2030: NASA discovers life in Europa
Discovered life: yeti crabs 🦀 lots of yeti crabs
Have you heard they got Voyager 1 back running properly again by shutting the broken part down and moving its job to other parts of the craft?
I thought they were still working on it but knew what they had to do. Good if they've got it working.
@@rais1953 as far as I'm aware they're still doing tests to make sure its 100% working as intended, I haven't heard much since but I hope it gets back to giving useful data again, fingers crossed
Yeeees underwater theme!!
UFO's are sometimes spotted entering the water, makes sense to map the bottom. Designing drones to explore caves and alien oceans also makes sense, there may be oceans on Europa, it would be logical to fix design issues on Earth first.
Looking for the aliens from The Abyss.
Ever since i learned about the Mariana Trench in high school back in the 90’s, I’ve been mesmerized by it’s secrets & sheer existenxe.
Reminds me of my favorite story arc in the manga and anime Space Brothers.
What's down there is all the socks that ever disappeared in the dryer.
...and plastic.. lots of plastic
@@rogerwilco1777Bonesss 😸
On a side note. TH-cam should be sued with the amount of ads they now show while watching. 😂
VPN to Albania, no more ads
TH-cam premium will solve that.
Thanks for another great video. I personally think that we may even stand a chance to find life (single cell and other, very small lifeforms) a few metres down in the ice cap. It happens on earth and once you're safe from Jupiter's magnetic field radiation and find liquid water where the ice cracks and moves...; well one can dream. Also the underside of our terrestrial polar ice caps are teeming with life so this might be true on other similar biomes.
Possibly under the much more Earthlike icecaps on Mars.
Great video...👍
I knew about NASA going to the waters but I mostly care about space exploration. Is NASA going to make Minecraft underground Bunker?
Me: Can we visit alien life in Europa Oceans?
Mum: We already have alien life at home
The alien life at home:
We should definitely focus on the ocean to eventually master pressure builds. Just my thought
I hope we discover more how our oceans work, looks and creatures that life there.
But I can understand why "exploring" the surfaces of other planets is easier, since nothing is covering the surface, so easier to see stuff, compared to the ocean
First time I saw Pluto it was 4 pixels.
Mission to Europa is one mission I actually think I may also get to see. There's nothing living there; They won't find life... But I really just want to see yet another world that I've wondered about for a decent portion of my life from the surface.
The possibilities are endless. Any kind of life will be enough. Saying out right there won’t be any is naive.
@@notturok7841 Naive but a fact nonetheless.
@@WilsonTexasRageryou misspelled “opinion”
Always wondered why NASA has not been exploring the inner space of the oceans since day one.
It's easier to engineer for a pressure differential of 1 atmosphere than one of 100 atmospheres or more...
Probably because it's the aeronautics and space administration, not the subsurface ocean administration.
He explained why in the video I’m pretty sure.
Great music in this one!
I think itd be eerie to finally go into Europa's ocean
Imagine that feeling of 'yeah, this looks like Earth's oceans but... why isnt there anything here?'
Really hoping there is life there, but I'm not too confident
When will people realize..... we are the aliens
That’s what I’m saying. We are proof life is out there. I believe so called aliens are just different breed of human
yea. That's why we share so much DNA and biology with all other living things on this planet. Cause we aliens
I always said this
You mean virus
Looking for Aliens
😶🌫️ Are you out there, truth?
I've always said ....if we cant conquer the ocean, we should not be going into space. Finally NASA.
Excellent
I’m going to assume…science?
i always read some comments before i watch videos..save me wasting my time
Well, I guess you will continue to live in ignorance.
Really important topic ...
I really really REALLY hope this is for Europa. I have so many probably naive hopes for what we'll find there
Click Bait title. Sigh. You are MUCH better than this!!!
The title makes sense to me
I wonder if we could seed life on Europa or Encealedus? Would it even be right to do that? I guess there's a super low chance that it could even effect life on Earth at all, so philisophically it's nuetral at worst and potentially godlike at best.
Essentially, my idea is to transport plankton to one of these worlds (probably encealadus.) On Encealadus you have the outgassing effect that theoretically opens holes in the ice crust, a phenomenon we haven't observed on a large scale from Europa. If there are holes that periodically open then theoretically light from the sun can touch the water inside the crust of Encealadus. If that's the case then maybe it's possible to get phytoplankton to survive there and conduct photosynthises : O
Poetic analogy for the human conscience, perhaps: We see and explore much that is outside of ourselves, but few of us know our deepest inner workings.
Sorta off subject, but Gordon Cooper took Hi-Def photos from space and later with a Treasure hunter friend they looked up were he was able to pinpoint Hundred years old shipwrecks ! Nice to have that ability! The only one with it !
Answering the title cold... Learning how to conduct missions in extreme pressure environments. Venus is pretty hostile... Jovian and Saturnian moons have oceans...
Got a handy ocean or two here to get some practice in before trying anything tough....
As long as they leave the moon alone, they can go long and deep to the bottom of the ocean since we can't take care of the land earth.
I saw the "We should not be here", but I'm reminded of the similarities between other worlds in our solar system and oceanic depths. Like what is suspected to lie at depth in Uranus or Neptune. Or the more hellish versions in Jupiter, probably in Saturn, and possibly on Venus (if dense CO2 can become liquid-like. ... Until we have standardized or bespoke vehicles designed for that kind of on-/in-planet travel, NASA is probably a best-choice for initial investigating.
I share the same opinion as others that we should research our own planet before going elsewhere and the ocean is something that always bugged me.
Thank god someone is searching the ocean. We need a nasa type company but for the ocean.
If they're using a heat source to burrow down through the ice, how are they going to stop the surface hole, up near the lander deploying the heat source, from freezing over?
I would be okay with NASA focusing on oceanic exploration while balancing maintenance on current orbital equipment. We are not realistically close to colonizing Mars, let alone interplanetary travel. Let’s focus on oceanic explorations and deep-sea colonization. That will also help prepare for future missions to Mars or other colonization missions. That being said I wish there was more of a push for colonizing Europa INSTEAD of Mars. Love these videos
I've always wondered.Why don't we try and build a colony on the bottom of the ocean. It might be a great testing facility for outer space. And if something went wrong we might be able to help them.
NASA, please. I'm not old, but I'm over half the expectation of my lifetime. Please, one mission to one ocean moon is all I ask.
Thank you🌌👁️🙌🔥👏🏽👏🏼💯
The start of this video is basically the feeling I get with just normal life … on land …
Your video reminds me so much about subnautica....
First thing popped into my mind when I saw the thumbnail was aliens
my understanding is that water across the universe is very similar,with a few variations with silicon and other substances that can create life its astonishing how silicon is very similar to our human life forms
I wouldn't have clicked if it was from anyone else because it seemed unbelievable. Seeing JPL on the side of a sub is a strange sight.
'let's swim to the moon, let's climb up through the tides' ... every letter of every word of that line of lyrics is true. The moon is an asteroid stuck in the sky, it didn't make it all the way through.
Imo it’s probably more important to discover and fully know our oceans before going to the furthest reaches of space.
ANOTHER W ASTRUM VID TO SLEEP TO
Tbh im suprised the space race happend before the bottom of the ocean race. Ive always found it weird that weve only discovered 2% of our oceans and yet we wanna go discovering different planets. Like imagine the tech we would/could have if nasa from the moment they became a thing focused soley on the ocean and not space.
NASA casually looking for aliens at the bottom of the ocean…
Oh wow this is seriously nuts.
