    In 2034 I'll be 79 years old. Which means I'm old enough to still remember the Gemini missions. As a lifetime "space geek"-- watching step by step as we've gone further and further out-- it blows my mind to think I may (fingers crossed) still be alive to see this!

      @@delavalmilker Im 61, and I feel the same. I did model rockets as a kid during the tail end of the Apollo era, and later worked for several years at Grumman.
      IMO the realistic and necessary space goals for the next 10 years are below, and all must be done before it would be prudent to send people to, or merely around, mars.
      > Replace the ISS with something larger, more reliable, and cheaper to maintain. Preferrably solar powered xenon thrusters, ala vasamir vx-200. That would cut orbital maintenance fuel costs dramatically, and enable a higher orbit ... as increased radiation shielding tech permits.
      > The international community needs to take change of managing satellite orbits and the deorbiting of junk in order to avert a catastrophic Kessler Syndrome event ... whose likelyhood increases rapidly the longer we wait.
      > We need a functional and sustainably powered space tug to establish earthlunar logistical support and transportation.
      > We need to establish a lunar base of operations (most likely Shackelton Crater in the S.Polar area). We need itfor many reasons, not least of which is to have a test bed for developing and refining relevant tech, such as developing off planet habitats and farming (aeroponics), in situ power generation, the ability to refine subsurface ice and mineral deposits into useable fuel, construction materials (for in situ 3D printing), and radiation shielding, etc.
      > Lunar surface gateway launch & reuse capability.
      > Underscore the need for still further refinement of radiation shielding, both for space transit and for in-situ habitats. Water, for example, doubles as both a fuel source, and (when pumped into large bladders in the hull) a modestly effective radiation shield.
      It would be wildly reckless to send crew to mars before ALL of that is done, which im guessing is at least 10-15 more years ... assuming humanity hasnt destroyed itself by then.

It's bigger than some planets, and it's got a thick atmosphere, the only difference is, that it's orbiting a gas giant instead of out on its own.

    13:22 Dragonfly will lift off once per Titan day which is 16 Earth days...
    If 1 Titan day is 16 Earth days, than 764 Titan days are 12224 Earth days which is more, than 33 Earth years, not just 3 so at least one of the numbers is totally wrong.

    Divert more material from around Saturn to build up Titans mass. Use it's wind to produce electricity. Float clear spheres with fins and dynamos, they tumble to produce more light there.

    I "love" the idea of sending a probe to the equivalent of the Sahara to look for signs of life. I get it, but I also "love" it.

    Thanks 1:31 for explaining how methane becomes liquid in the cold. Finally.

    • @robbannstrom
      @robbannstrom 14 дней назад

      Well, he didn't exactly *_explain_* it at all. While the following also does not explain it exactly, it may cast more light on the subject. The melting point of methane is 91.15K - this temperature may be slightly different on Titan, due to somewhat higher atmospheric pressure. The surface temperature on Titan is fairly constant at about 94K, or about 3K or 4K higher than the melting temperature of methane. This means that, when there is methane precipitation, it may fall as snow or rain, but once on the surface, it will be liquid. HTH...

    NASA needs to start sending massive swarms of drones for all the planets and moon and do so much more why do they only send one in one area I understand that technology is expensive but they need to start sending millions of swarms on every single planet and moon swarms.

      drones only work if theres an atmosphere and most moons dont have atmospheres

    This is amazing!
    Now I can totally understand the costs of a mission like this, but I can't help but feel as a redundancy for such a high risk mission, that a second dragonfly (separate but parallel mission) should be sent to another area of interest where a landing is possible. Much like the 2 Viking landers sent to Mars many decades ago. If this single lander fails it would be a shame to achieve nothing for all that cost. But of course cost from the very beginning is the issue.
