Callisto will be the only "safe" moon to establish a colony on at Jupiter, but outposts might also be put on Europa and Io if we can find a way to deal with the radiation. As far as the question, is it possible? Not yet. We have a lot to learn and the Moon and Mars can teach us those lessons. Many of the things you say are needed will be rehashed ad infinitum as we build out those closer colonies, until we know what we actually do need. It WILL be possible, but isn't quite possible yet.

[@ebonaparte3853]

Ganymede, with its magnetic field, and Europa are feasible outposts, although they may have to be under the ice on Europa. Io is out of the question for a while.

[@Myrddnn]

@@ebonaparte3853 The problem with Europa is the radiation. Getting to the surface and drilling down would expose personnel and equipment to a strong radiation flux. Once under, of course, that would be a different thing. Ganymede is the easiest and likely most useful to us of the four.

[@ebonaparte3853]

@@Myrddnn Radiation shielding might advance enough where they might have some time to get under the ice before they get exposed to dangerous levels of it.

[@Myrddnn]

@@ebonaparte3853 We can hope, right? 🙂

[@solifugus]

I do see Callisto as a promising target for colonization, second to Titan. However, I don't see it being independent because I see no substantial source of energy on it. Titan provides both tidal and wind energy. However, the access to useful minerals would be complementary to a colony on Titan. The radiation levels are relatively low and so, a colony further protected within one of Callisto's many craters or caves would be very helpful.

[@arbhall7572]

I'm thinking of Callisto as a big catchers mitt, recieving goodies from all over the universe. I bet there's tons of cool rare stuff just laying around on the surface, with every dent revealing the history of the system. Like an oyster with a pearl in it. A couple big hauls, it'll be the gold rush all over again.

[@brucemacmillan9581]

Are you an idiot? Drunk? Stupid? Do you know how many years it takes to get to this planet? Do you have any idea how expensive and impractical it would be to try and do something like you're describing? The radiation alone that eminates from Jupiter is enough to fry you in no time flat. Yeesh. Some people.

3:01. With an average density of 1.85 g cm⁻³, Callisto is 31.0% ice and 69.0% rock by mass 57.5% ice and 42.4% rock by volume Assuming a density of 1.0 g cm⁻³ for ice and 3.0 g cm⁻³ for rock. Here's how to calculate it. a = density of the ice b = density of the rock p = average density of the moon, such that a < p < b fraction ice by mass = a(b−p)/[p(b−a)] fraction rock by mass = 1 − fraction ice by mass fraction ice by volume = (p−b)/(a−b) fraction rock by volume = 1 − fraction ice by volume This calculation presumes that Callisto has no metal in its composition. Metal is denser than rock, and if some of the non-ice part of the moon is metal, that would shrink the non-ice percentage and increase the ice percentage.

[@Tsamokie]

meh

[@christiane.g.4142]

As to the problem of muscle and bone loss due to the weaker Callistan gravity, the answer is obvious: the colonists would have to be required to spend a certain amount of time daily in a groundbased centrifuge on the Callistan surface

[@surekhar407]

Absolutely nice. I absolutely like it.

[@WWeronko]

First, very few refer to the Galilean satellites of Jupiter as the Medicean satellites. As for colonizing Callisto, I am pretty sure at one point the Jupiter colony will be started at and governed from the low radiation moon Callisto. While the Saturn colony will be founded at Titan and the capital city and government maintained there.

[@juanfermin1841]

Callisto may receive less radiation than earth, but a human will receive 10 times the radiation that he receives on earth.

[@GadreelAdvocat]

Might be able to use several solar panel and or RTG craft to attatch to small icy moons around Jupiter. Use some of the small moon for fuel and to store some of it in the craft for fuel. The many small moon's ice could be converted into fuel and to crash it into Callisto. The craft could detach at a safe distance to then have a chance to attatch to another asteroid. The craft could then have a chance to repeat the process over and over again. Adding more mass to Callisto might then allow it to hold an atmosphere. Making it more habitable. Depending on what type of craft is sent, slightly larger moons might be able to be crashed into Callisto. Side note, it would be interesting to see how dim the light might be from the reflected light off of Jupiter on Callisto's tidally locked side.

[@youngmasterzhi]

Sure it may be boring to fly around Callisto for 17 hours, but it sure beats having to deal with alien-controlled monsters while escaping the first outer space a penal colony!

10:12. Insane mentioned *_vaccinations_* as a precaution against solar and cosmic radiation during an interplanetary trip. What are these vaccinations preventing, exactly? What pathogen are those vaccines intended to safeguard the astronauts' bodies from?

[@whaleoilbeefhooked3892]

How they physically measure the moon's distance from earth is breathtaking, let alone it's diameter.

[@henrybeck7610]

It's all about the maths

[@cordongrouch9323]

*Its diameter.

[@whaleoilbeefhooked3892]

@@henrybeck7610 Sure, but what is breathtaking is that the maths being used in the video are dependent on a terrestrial significant 'known'. Physically measuring our moon's distance from earth's surface and it's physical diameter is the key leap made into our celestial realm.

[@henrybeck7610]

I find it fascinating that in ratio of size and distance, 1au is equivalent to the nucleus to electron probability shell separation in the hydrogen atom. Ah, perfection in chaos

[@henrybeck7610]

I had fun asking a fellow how fast he is moving when standing on the earth. @1000 mph at the equator.@68000 mph around the sun.@450000mph in the galaxy.@ 1.3 million mph outward in the universe. So pretty damned fast for a guy standing still. Hmmm, relativity?

[@GeorgeStar]

Putting the fiction in science fiction. Colonizing the sun is only slightly more absurd. We can't even colonize Antarctica which is infinitely easier.

[@khaccanhle1930]

Nice video. How about a video about Ganymede?

[@Langkowski]

They would probably depend on some sort of medicine to prevent muscle and bone loss. And building a base inside a large cave would protect them from micro-meteorites. Due to the old age of the surface, these should be plenty of both organic material, in addition to minerals and metals. Combined with plenty of ice, it makes it a very attractive destination. Except from the long journey and the weak gravity, the major problem seems to be energy. Jupiter has a very strong magnetic field. Could there be a way to harvest some of that energy?

[@thomas.parnell7365]

It might be possible to harvest Jupiter's magnetic field as for your muscle atrophy the logical step once you have some industrial ability.build rotational bowl say 500 metres to 2 miles across nuclear powered spun up to 1 g built . obviously built within a domed city

[@maxwalker1159]

[@istvansipos9940]

for colonization, you always need cheap masses of people and cheap travel. space travel will never be that cheap. And those in need, who really need a fresh start, will never be rich enough to afford the journey. The happy ones, who can afford they journey, are the happy ones. Duh! :- ) A few adventurers aside, they'll never leave their nice lives on Earth behind, because even the best habitat on Callsito would be a constant fight for survival. To sum up: colonization of Callisto will never happen. a research outpost on Callisto. Hell, yeah! I am all for it. But again, with no humans :- ( By the time our space crafts are good enough for such a flight, AI and robotics will be so advanced that nobody will send inefficient, fragile humans

[@marksmadhousemetaphysicalm2938]

Probably the only safe moon as Jupiter's radiation is low enough there to allow underground habitats...with long term inhabitants...probably the north or south pole...nuclear propulsion would get us there much faster...and let us take a surgeon and surgical nurse and emergency doctor...for distant missions...we have to stop thinking about flag and footprints and think long duration large crew and possibly permanent settlements...unless we can travel millions of miles per hour and get there in a month...a small mission makes no sense...nuclear fusion might make small expeditions possible...but who knows when we will achieve fusion

We need development of more advanced systems of keeping alive. However and wherever astronauts are going. Generati g food equipment, toileting systems, atmosphere in ships, type thing.
