Colonizing Callisto - Third Largest Moon In The Solar System
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2020
- 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 RUclips. 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 RUclips generated ads (which incidentally can be bypassed with an ad blocker).
@@matthewthomas2546 this dude probably can't do youtube for a living, ad revenue these days is extremely low. Sponsorships are usually what make your youtube videos possible
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
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
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.
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.
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 👍🙏
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.
22 minutes and 58 seconds of Dreksler Astral? What did we do today to deserve this gift? 🎁 🤷♂️ 🙏
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
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...!!!

"The Man in Black"
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?
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.

When Dreksler Astral posts - its loaded with information and we all love it🤩😇 best astro channel on youtube🙂
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.
I know how hard it took but your videos are amazing to watch and more understandable.
Omg finnaly I am space addicted to this channel. Absolutely awesome video.
👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁
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.
The legend is back!
Your best installment yet. Very well done. More like these please. The radiation differences between the jovian moon was fascinating.
The best science/space channel on RUclips! Kee up the good work Dreksler!
Thank you for this channel! Your videos about space are the most relaxing videos on RUclips, they help me get through my assignments for Uni. Thank you again and keep the good work!
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.
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.
You're back! Your videos are very amazing ! They are actually the best! 🎉
Great video. A base on Callisto could be used to send robotic explorers to Europa and elsewhere
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.
Great video as always, keep 'em coming. Thank you!
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 :)
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
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.
Welcome back, Dreksler ASTRAL!
Truly Amazing detailed video 😍😍, salute to your efforts 👏👍
I spend a stupid amount of time just reading about the moons of the solar system, and watching RUclips 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?
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.
The legend is back
Thanks for uploading a new video man 💜 the videos as always 👏🏽👏🏽
I absolutely love this episode, it really fires my imagination. I've watched it several times.
Thanks Dreksler ! 🚀
Glad to see a new video from Dreskler astrail. Thanks man
12:38 omg this looks so good. We need more pictures like this!!!
I know I'm going back a good 40 years but that spaceship right around the 14:30 mark is nothing less than the Starfighter from the Buck Rogers series. Astral is just awesome.
One of the best science channel! I like the sound you always use in video’s.
Time flies by when watching Dreksler Astral
Yessss amazing video! 👍
Thank god you are back!
He's back!!! He's Back!! Excellent!!!
This is a really nice production.
Great video, good job.
Your content is simply the best. I just wish you uploaded more frequently 🥺
It takes time to upload greatness.
Great video ❤ I missed you dreksler astral , hope you're doing good .
Welcome back dear dreksler ❤️
Nice work.

Merci, great subject well explained, a kind of candy video for my mind
I love that electric piano theme you use as soundtrack
Beautiful !
great video again
Great video style.
Great video pls give us more 👌🏼
Great video
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.
That was enjoyable thanks
a really good document. get a subscription right away
Love these videos
Best Science channel ever :D

Awesome video dreksler astral
Love the way to you explain..and the background music makes us feel as if we were there really..keep the same rhythm going..💪 fan from India.
Great Videos 👍.
You and V101 Science has really gotten me hooked on space
MAAAAAAAAAAAAARS
Yaaah! You are back
With that Technowledgey: Let's First build a Toaster that works!!
@Stephanie Logan Stephanie, We have gone through 3, each did the same - Burnt Bread, Bagles, etc.
You sure you guys didn't change the dial to how crisp you want your pop tarts?
Nice channel brother
22 minutes! keep making them longer, please!
It’s been among the best 22 minutes of my life, frfr!
Hes back!
awesome
Lets goo your back
This is the comment section I like to see people who are actually interested into the video
The NASA logos on the base components and spacescraft would probably read something more like SpaceX. LOL, just sayn....
GREAT video BTW!
Hey whats up bro been a while i missed watching you man!
No mention of stupid NordVPN or Clash of Clans. Hats off to you for your top quality content.
I'm 2 weeks late but ty for uploading
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.
You overlooked a couple of really important known facts about that moon: it has basically no atmosphere. That means a spacecraft arriving from earth with high velocity will have to use propulsion to cancel out that velocity and land on the surface. THAT IS A REALLY BIG PROBLEM because it severely limits the payload that can be transported from earth.
That is why on Apollo the lunar module was constructed in a very flimsy way and the whole mission took only 3 astronauts and yet needed the biggest ever constructed rocket (Saturn V) to make the mission possible.
Human Mars exploration is within the reach of current propulsion technology because of distance and atmosphere. Callisto will have to wait until a breakthrough in propulsion occured.
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
I have for years heralded Callisto as a good place for a human outpost, now that we know more about Titan I think It may be a much better place to establish a presence.
Space travel may be for robots only. They don't require food, oxygen, excercise etc. They only need a power source.
Please, give this man a Nobel prize

My favourite moon
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 ..
Wow it's a new video
like and comment before watching, thank you for uploading!
This is by far one of the most interesting channels I have ever found on youtube.
Sounds Like Someone's Not Feeling well...
Hope you get Better Bro!
There's no avoiding the use of nuclear energy in space, at least not for applications that need serious, reliable power. Great video.
yeah if we can not reach Sun in outer solar system, just build a small one with fusion! Clean and reliable power if we do it right
ongg this crazyyy
I would like a video standing in the irregular moons of Uranus.
All those watery moons out there... all those magical places out there... and we can’t even see them for good in our lives
Also... this is a looooong video! Hopefully we’ll see more uploads like this.
