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. 🥰
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!
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.
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.

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
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.
This is my personal favorite astronomical subjects of conversation. The idea and possibility of life existing elsewhere in the solar system is so exciting.
Great vid! The idea that we might witness the discovery of life beyond Earth incredible. It’s a "once-in-a-species" event, and we could be the generation to experience it!
Honestly at this point I'd be more shocked if we didn't eventually find (microbial) life in the solar system, sure it would be amazing to confirm it but personally I'm more excited about the reported signal they've found which allegedly confirms intelligent alien life. Now _that_ would be a real game changer.
Hey Derek! I am a physics student on second year from Instituto Superior Técnico in Portugal. I'm making a presentation in Quantum Information and Computing, and our professor asked us to make a memorable conclusion. So we thought of you, a fantastic youtuber which all my collegues love!

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.
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)
I can't thank you enough for your advice. I followed your footsteps and got 5 out of 6 - a significant improvement for me. I'm still learning, but with your help, I feel like I'm on the right track. Thanks a million
Dr. Peter Hand is traveling around the US giving an excellent lecture on the mission. Find it on RUclips or read his book. Highly recommended. He is in charge of the salt lab briefly covered in this video with JPL.
I've heard the facts of what we know about Jupiter's and it's moons and which missions discovered it, but not how the data told us about the salt. I also loved the basketball demonstration.
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.
14:00 I want to write a fiction novel about we trying that, but radiation corrupts the lander and turns it hostile towards humans and that's how machines turn against us.
Im soooo glad they did a video on Europa Clipper! I've seen other videos before, but I knew Veritasium would do an amazing job, and they did not disappoint!
The problem with extremophiles on Earth is that these organisms evolved to live in these conditions , but originated from organisms living in more temperate environments. Classic example high temperature polymerase. It's a evolutionary adaptation of a protein to work in high temperatures. The mammalian polymerase becomes inoperable in temperatures above 50C while Taq polymerase has optimal temperature 80C and can work up to 97C for brief time
I thought the leading theory for the origins of life on Earth says it emerged around hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. I wouldn't describe those temperatures and pressures as temperate.
I watched it launch live in person! Huge props to the team who worked on this for the past decade for bringing such an incredible work of engineering into existence!
I plan to retire at 62 in another country outside the US that is free, safe and very cheap with a high quality of life. I could fully just rely on only my SS if I wanted to when that times arrives but I'll also have at least one pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with my Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Retiring comfortably in the US these days is almost impossible. I honestly don't understand why people don't move to another country when they get older in retirement. It seems everybody has excuses for almost anything to not take action to better their situation.
been watching your videos for a while and i always look forward to your explanation that keeps me constantly interested. never stop making videos im begging
That would be so cool... create a new underwater world. But it would probably take centuries to even make sure there isn't life there already. I mean we're still finding microbes in the strangest places on earth, like salt pillars in the middle of the desert!
i think i'll cry for a day, if we find life outside of Earth during my lifetime like, even if this is barely affects me, this would be the greatest achievement in the human history, future altering even...
Another 7 years I was a child when I heared about all of these in discovery channel . The time frame it requires to do these things is a far greater than a life span

12:18 Love seeing the snatoms come out again
Videos from this channel are some of the best on youtube, always so well explained and entertaining
I was thinking this is an old video BUT NO you're better keep up the work man
I love that the astronomer has a Star Trek book in his library xDD 15:30
Never heard "Jupiter kills everything" growing up
Boys/girls go to Jupiter to die.
For some reason you remind me of my wrist
"All these worlds are yours except Europa"

Neptune always said his brother was, and I'm quoting him here, "Kind of an A-hole."
In mythology, it's more like "Jupiter fucks everything."
He does kill a lot of things too, though.
Dr. Peter Hand is traveling around the US giving an excellent lecture on the mission. Find it on RUclips or read his book. Highly recommended. He is in charge of the salt lab briefly covered in this video with JPL.
Thanks for breaking it all down so clearly!
I love how you create your videos in such a fun and educational way, keep up the good work!
I've heard the facts of what we know about Jupiter's and it's moons and which missions discovered it, but not how the data told us about the salt. I also loved the basketball demonstration.
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
4:09 - Europa is missing Kratos.

You really beat everything with this video, so well done. Big thumbs up!
You're the best storyteller and teacher
that is astoundingly fascinating. I would've never guessed tidal-stretch-induced friction is what mtainaints the oceans liquid. Impressive.
bad bot
14:00 I want to write a fiction novel about we trying that, but radiation corrupts the lander and turns it hostile towards humans and that's how machines turn against us.
THIS CHANNELS IS AMAZING
@@mandamiddle0278 There’s no need to shout.
“This channels…”, or _these_ channels are?
Im soooo glad they did a video on Europa Clipper! I've seen other videos before, but I knew Veritasium would do an amazing job, and they did not disappoint!
This is one of the few channels that seriously delivers
Jupiter is pretty protective of it's moons
Pimpiter
@@toni6194 🤣
@@toni6194 does that make Europa a professional whore?
The problem with extremophiles on Earth is that these organisms evolved to live in these conditions , but originated from organisms living in more temperate environments. Classic example high temperature polymerase. It's a evolutionary adaptation of a protein to work in high temperatures. The mammalian polymerase becomes inoperable in temperatures above 50C while Taq polymerase has optimal temperature 80C and can work up to 97C for brief time
I thought the leading theory for the origins of life on Earth says it emerged around hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. I wouldn't describe those temperatures and pressures as temperate.
There Definitely are Alien lives in universe 👾👾
I watched it launch live in person! Huge props to the team who worked on this for the past decade for bringing such an incredible work of engineering into existence!
Your ability to pump out quality videos is incredible
I plan to retire at 62 in another country outside the US that is free, safe and very cheap with a high quality of life. I could fully just rely on only my SS if I wanted to when that times arrives but I'll also have at least one pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with my Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Retiring comfortably in the US these days is almost impossible. I honestly don't understand why people don't move to another country when they get older in retirement. It seems everybody has excuses for almost anything to not take action to better their situation.
What country you moving too?I'm headed to Thailand or the Philippines in 4 years.
How can i reach this Tracy Britt Cool Consulting, I will like to benefit from her good work. How to reach her pls
@@AlexaJazmin-t5oI have a sister in Sri Lanka, should be easy for me to settle in
Her name is Tracy Britt Cool Consulting.
You can glance her name up on the internet.she's renowned and has quite a following. So it shouldn't be a hassle finding her.
2:49 Missed an opportunity to use a Clipper lighter here
make a video about Uranus and its moons and start with "deep inside Uranus"
Wish my science classes back in the day were discussed this way. Learning more from Veritasium than I ever learned in high school science😅
been watching your videos for a while and i always look forward to your explanation that keeps me constantly interested. never stop making videos im begging
sounds nice but i still want to know when are we going deep into uranus aswell
If we don't find any life already existing there, is it possible (or even ethical) that we could deposit some extremophiles from earth there?
That would be so cool... create a new underwater world. But it would probably take centuries to even make sure there isn't life there already. I mean we're still finding microbes in the strangest places on earth, like salt pillars in the middle of the desert!
Veritassium's channel is very educational and fun at the same time.
This is both true and a very sweet comment ☀
Thanks!
Just got to watch this rocket launch today, amazing.
4:23 very recent indeed
10:20 He was so disappointed
Do you think he's stupid?
@@dwigt123 This guy thinks that verita is a rando with no scientific background
Veritasium uploading videos every week while Vsauce uploads every 2 years
2 videos
Yeah, I miss Vsauce though.
He keeps uploading shorts
Beautiful presentation. Cheers from a New Zealand enthusiast.
I read about this mission a while ago in a magazine, it’s so interesting to me, and it’s so cool that Veritasium covered it!
i think i'll cry for a day, if we find life outside of Earth during my lifetime
like, even if this is barely affects me, this would be the greatest achievement in the human history, future altering even...
😂❤ same
I didn't even like the title or thumbnail and I still clicked cuz it's Veritasium 😅
ur trippin
8:47 oh so they’re stretch marks
Another 7 years I was a child when I heared about all of these in discovery channel . The time frame it requires to do these things is a far greater than a life span
This is the most captivating video on your channel so far. Loved it.
Another Veritasium video, another mind blown.
Missing the E in earth at 3:13
Borrow me your eyes and attention to detail for a while
Caption mess up
Arth is my favorite planet
When I noticed that I though to myself - is this auto-generated? No way right, but I still turned the subtitles off after that. Weird how mind works :D
E
Veritasium PLEASE oil up I BEG it's the only thing that can save my life!!!!
i want this guy to be the most popular channel on yt
Your videos are the only one i watch at 1x speed. They are a deep emotional and informative experience.
