@@BothHands1 Same! There are so many really cool missions currently and upcoming. So happy to be a lover of this sort of stuff and be around right now!
Aspect Science Yeah, definitely! I almost said in my last post that the previous lander photos were underwhelming and that's why i was excited for another opportunity to get footage from the ground. But then i realized this is landing a billion km from Earth, so it would be a little stuck up to not appreciate the photos we already have. But still, i really am excited for better pictures and maybe even video footage.
@@BothHands1 Haha I hear you! It can get really easy to be underwhelmed by those things - I guess that's just human nature - until you think about everything that went into getting that image! But I agree, I can't wait for more modern video (and audio (and everything else)) gear to be sent to all these places and see what we get sent to us!
Note: Dragonfly actually not nuclear powered. It will be powered by a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator(RTG). RTG uses radioactive materials to generate electricity but not through nuclear fission. It uses the Seebeck Effect principle to generate electricity. So we can't say it's nuclear powered. Thanks.
@@idstayaway9992 how is that a woooosh When the joke didnt go over my head? 🤔 thats if it even was a joke. Dude seemed pretty serious to me! So nice try but that doesnt work. Id say it wouldnt be embarrassing if they got it stuck in a tree anyway, because if they found a tree thatd be remarkable!

Also Titan is a moon not a planet. Good day! 👍
there is h2o, in ice, of course the means spending at least what you get from it. perhaps alternative oxidizer? also wind energy could be more efficient there, and low grav potential means can send to earth at only some delta v. just coasting the whole way. titan will def play a role in human civilization. @@illuminate4622
Not really, just your standard feedback loop. Project where you want to be and adjust outputs until inputs match the prediction. "AI" (neutral networks) are just for pattern matching.
There's already an element on machine learning on Curiosity as it identifies rocks of interest and can even explore things on its own. So having some AI is almost a given.
Anyone who believes a Drone can fly into outer space, especially Electronics passing the " Fake Van Allen's Belt " is in need of " Re-Education " !! NASA in Hebrew means: TO DECEIVE.!!!
I get what you mean! It's hard to actually, truly visualise it as more than just a spec of light in the sky, despite seeing images of these places. And what's more mind blowing is knowing that human technology has set foot on celestial bodies other than the Earth and moon. It's incredible!

The dragonfly mission is unbelievably cool. Sending an autonomous drone to Titan that will be able to explore it’s surface way faster than any rover has explored Mars. So much ground will be able to be covered. I’m loving the recent evolution to flight on other planets, including all of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter’s flights so far, which have been resounding successes.

I went for a lecture in the American Centre in Kolkata where a NASA Engineer gave details on the whole mission it was really great. Thank you Seeker for doing this video.❤️
Thanks! Are unmanned missions getting more bold & exciting, or is it just me? A nuclear-thermo-couple quad-copter!?! Awesome! I even love the name: Dragonfly (one of my very favorite insects.) And another mission is sending a different drone copter to Mars. How cool is that? I can't wait for either of them - not to mention some other upcoming missions to Europa. But Titan is a uniquely fascinating world; analogs of Earth's chemical processes create strangely Earth-like conditions - albeit much, much colder, of course. I hope we get some 'live' feed on the web from these missions! 𝓡𝓲𝓴𝓴𝓲 𝓣𝓲𝓴𝓴𝓲.
This is fascinating and I think also a possible location for future space resource harvesting. I'm fascinated in diving deep behind the headlines. Thanks for the video! Nice use of B-Roll. I wish much success to your channel.
The fact that scientists are able to do the insanely complicated math of the orbital mechanics, and successfully land on a tiny moon a billion miles away, is just ridiculous. I still have a hard time believing we humans are capable of such astonishing feats.
How the heck did you manage to bring SpaceX into this? SpaceX's goal is not do send probes on interplanetary mission to find life and answer questions, it's goal is to make reusable rockets to disrupt and market and fund manned missions to Mars, which are looking at a 2030 landing...
@@_Andrew2002 Oh hell we have Elon Musk himself here. Sorry Mr. Musk I guess you have a strict game plan that could never change in 10 years because you have to do what the status quo tells you it's possible to do. Like you can never put a bunch of laptop batteries in a car and make the worlds best performing electric car. You can't make rockets that land on drone ships. You can't build giant nets to catch rocket parts from space. Trains in a partial vacuum. Tunnels for cars under cities. Wow I can't believe Elon Musk himself is here in the RUclips comments to tell everyone that divergence is too risky and he's a straight line walking kind of guy. Thanks for talking to us Elon.
Apologies if this is not a good question, But what is the science behind search of hydrocarbons like methane, etc and how this chemical analysis is performed?
@@ot1402 it is a RTG that produces 110W essentially forever (for longer than the vehicles service life). You can't fly something on 110W though, so you need to store the 110W into a battery and then release it at a much larger rate than 110W in order to drive the vehicle. Once the battery is dead you still have that 110W so you can start charging it again.
The atmosphere of titan is denser than earth’s (1.45 atm) and gravity is 15% of earth’s. It’s helicopter heaven. It can have significant mass and still light, and the rotors will have a lot of lift. Unlike a helicopter on Mars that has to spin up to very high rpm and get very little lift.

Wesley Miller They are saying by 2030 a probe should be able to “taste” this water by getting close enough to where these plumes of waters are spewing from. Currently, we don’t have the technology to land a craft capable of punching through 60 or more miles of ice to actually get to these waters.
Reasons why NASA chose a drone format for Titan: - Lower gravity = easier to fly - Thicker atmosphere = easier to fly - Colder environment = easier to cool (as long as it doesn't melt itself into the ground) - The idea of sending a huge nuclear powered flying drone to another world = just really freaking cool. (mostly that last one)
We are slowly becoming the aliens. Think about once we find life. Imagine being some animal on another planet, munching on some purple grass, and boom! A quad copter drone is just hovering above you making weird noises 😂
I hope if they do this titan mission it will be with an orbiter probe to get high def/quality images of Saturn and maybe other moons as well. I really hope we can get a probe sent to every planet like NASA has done with Mars, Jupiter, and our moon.

Methane seas ? Really that place must be hell lotta stinky to survive..
Reasons why NASA chose a drone format for Titan:
- Lower gravity = easier to fly
- Thicker atmosphere = easier to fly
- Colder environment = easier to cool (as long as it doesn't melt itself into the ground)
- The idea of sending a huge nuclear powered flying drone to another world = just really freaking cool.
(mostly that last one)
They already have curiosity for the last one
@@refindoazhar1507 true, I should have specified "flying drone" ... I'll edit
We are slowly becoming the aliens. Think about once we find life. Imagine being some animal on another planet, munching on some purple grass, and boom! A quad copter drone is just hovering above you making weird noises 😂
Now imagine in the year 2034, after we waited over 13 years for it, Dragonfly is crashing on Titan ^^
1:04 "...like methane, ethane, propylene, nitrogen, and carbon"
...sooo nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen?
Where did it say hydrogen?
🌍 seeker 🌎 thank you 😎
Thank you for teaching about RTGs.
Plot turn: Life on Titan deems Dragonfly as an act of war!
Gaming TinkerBell as an “Attack on Titan” you say?
@@AaronOrtiz 😆😆😆😆
They expected to reach on Titan by 2034, and actually they reach on Titan by 2045..... Just look at James web telescope
That's different, the reason it's going to take so long is the distance.
I hope if they do this titan mission it will be with an orbiter probe to get high def/quality images of Saturn and maybe other moons as well.
I really hope we can get a probe sent to every planet like NASA has done with Mars, Jupiter, and our moon.
Why search for life there when we are busily destroying it here? Maybe we can destroy it there too.
Lmao I’ll be in my 30s when it finally reaches Titan! Gotta long time...🙂🙂
sounds like we could be celebrating thanksgiving twice in a year!!!!
Thanos is gonna require a Warrant from NASA before they land on his home planet. Otherwise, there goes half our Solar System.
Oh that was funny, please ignore reality and keep droning on about a movie that you saw, it is so interesting!

It was a joke man... don’t take it so hard.
I can barely fly drone in my backyard, cant imagine flying one on titan or mars
Well it will be cool to fly Dragonfly on Titan, but it needs to be perfect.
It would be cool to have information on how all of its components work
Don't nuclear radiation disinfects stuff , I believe it's like trying to kill life not find it
That's not a nuclear power plant...
I've been to titan, it's quite nice in fact Sloane is there... rumor is that there lie Fallen, hive and a few cabal.
