JUICE: Hunting for Life on Jupiter's Moons

[@danielreuben1058]

I would say if Juice finds microbial life, it wouldn't be the find of the century, but rather the find of history.

[@christineshotton824]

It would certainly be a fundamentally important discovery; even more so if life on one of the Jovian moons has a different chemistry than life on Earth. Life that is not based on DNA/RNA would strongly argue for independent development of life, rather than cross contamination via impact events.

[@logangrimnar3800]

I don't care if there's life, only what that life's opinion is on Ukraine, Trump, and ab0rt1on.

This is the space mission I have been paying attention too since I was a child. I am very happy and excited to this finally become a reality.

[@snakeinthegrak8969]

Look how people reacted to C19 and Y2K. I don't want to find life on other planets, let alone bring it back.

[@LJMpictures]

The mission to end all missions? I think it will just be getting started ;p

[@paradox7358]

With missions like this and with JWST starting to analyse the chemical composition of exo-planets, it really feels as though we're on the cusp of discovering direct evidence for life outside our world.

[@jeremythornton433]

Oh how I hope so!

[@Flies2FLL]

No we are not. They will need to land a probe on these moons that can drill into the ice and find these chemical processes. That won't happen any time soon.

[@megaprojects9649]

It might be optimistic, but this is one thing I really hope to see within my lifetime.

[@shasha1873]

They will not find any type of life. It does not exist.

[@perniciouspete4986]

On the contrary, we should be trying to find intelligent life on Earth.

[@albertnobbs5049]

This really is the golden age of local and deep space exploration. We're so blessed, but it's so underappreciated. Also that was the most random FMA reference I've ever witnessed thank you.

[@trevorreniger5670]

The missions to Jupiter's moons are some of the most exciting explorations of my lifetime. Such a fascinating time to witness.

[@ruthlessrubberducky5729]

They'll have tremendous impact on science one way or another

[@ruthlessrubberducky5729]

I'm cheering them on as an American. It actually seems to have worked out very well that between the 2 space agencies, all 3 of the icy moons will be explored. Each will have laser focus on their tasks rather than a blanket mission that could miss details.

[@MrZoomZone]

details like metric or imperial measurements 😀

[@ruthlessrubberducky5729]

@Rob You'd be surprised how much Americans use metric. I'm fairly certain nasa uses metric for just about everything, and translates to Imperial during announcements. In my physics classes and science classes, it was almost entirely the metric system.

[@garyjorgenson8668]

“Going to science the shit out of it…” I had to go back and see if I really heard that…then laughed out loud . Love all of Simons channels…take KZbin over one piece at a time!!

[@brendoncummins2762]

And at least 2 anime refrences... Fullmetal Alchemist and Cowboy Bebop.

[@Games_and_Music]

Matt Damon said it in the Martian as well.

[@arnoldloudly5423]

There is something extremely honest and enjoyable about your ability to cram in the details, describe all the complex processes, the awesome kit - delivering the feeling of awe these subjects deserve - without all the Nova-esque bollocks. 'Study the shit out of Ganymede's odd magnetic field' for instance, so perfectly fits, I got all fuzzy hearing you say it! Kudos!

[@montylc2001]

I've been waiting for these two missions since the 1970's when the Voyager probes truly revealed the nature of these moons. The Jovian system has been one of my most intense areas of interest and study, and even as a young teenager in the mid 70's I had speculated that Io had active volcanoes. My science teacher at the time told me I was dreaming. Anyway, now my hope is that I live long enough to see the results of both these missions.

[@raymondtrabulsy7294]

The Cowboy Bebop and FMA references really tickled me.

[@Baldevi]

Thank you for this detailed synopsis of JUICE's history, mission and timeline. This will be an amazing achievement indeed, I hope I get to see JUICE arrive at the Jovian Systerm and start sending images and info. Loev Simon's delivery, it is obvious Simon is excited and eager for this mission to start and to see the results coming to us. And Morris M., I heard what you did there! LOL Hey, maybe we will see some "Space Cowboys" waving from Ganymede, just not the ones you were slyly slipping past Simon's not-anime-educated nose!

[@stageiii1]

Your parting comments, the last minute of the vid.... spot-on. Perfect.

[@The1sert1]

In the past we have had had grand missions of exploration in the forms of the Voyagers and probes such as Cassini, and each of those lasted decades, it will be awesome to witness one of these from start to finish even if does mean we have to wait 13 years for the conclusion.

[@ryanwriter]

Reminds me of how few missions like this that I'll (hopefully) be around to see-it takes so long to get them approved, built, reach their targets, and return the data.

[@SuperKillerSpoon]

There is no way Simon understood the "pride is not just the creepiest villain in FMA brotherhood" line

[@TheDoug7055]

When I heard that line I started speculating who the writer was ... well played Morris!

[@EmilyJelassi]

Fascinating video! I’m just an amateur, but these missions are going to provide so much new information.. very exciting 😊

"Study the shit out of.." woah didn't expect a remark like that from Simon but I like it! 🤣

[@ndlsjk]

In my opinion finding life on a planet/moon other than Earth would probably be one of the largest scientific discoveries. Ever.

[@christopherstory514]

At least as fundamental as Newton's laws of motion, Galileo's discovery of the solar system, Darwin's first attempts at understanding Evolution, and Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

[@DneilB007]

I’d say that the only thing that would have had greater ramifications going forward was us banging the rocks together.

[@yoeyyoey8937]

What are the biggest, now m, in your opinion ?

[@Jay54GoSooners]

That’s not an opinion that’s a fact

[@arcturionblade1077]

"Pride isn't just the creepiest villain in FMA Brotherhood." That was an unexpected anime reference, lol.

[@anthonystar]

Thanks for this upload it's better than reading an encyclopedia

[@WaywardVet]

That FMA:B reference to Pride... 😆 Well written.

[@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88]

They've shown that all it takes to create rna is liquid water and volcanic rock. Seeing that both should be found on these moons is so intriguing to me. Billions of years of trial and error means it's highly likely that these molecules could have found a way. If self replicating things that use their environment for energy needs are found it would open up a whole new realm of scientific studies.

[@APuzzledZebra]

Loved the FMA Brotherhood pride reference outta left field.

JUICE is 'more interested' of Europa's siblings among the Galilean moons, as it started as part of a dual probe Laplace mission, in which a NASA probe would have gotten the sexier Europa and Io as it targets, with Callisto and Ganymede left for ESA. Other space agencies were supposed to be involved, with Roskosmos possibly contributing a Ganymede lander. But then NASA walked out (third Jupiter mission it abandoned after Galileo's success) and ESA's part was salvaged to become JUICE.

[@thomasnelson6161]

[@scottwilliams846]

Question: Say there is microbial life on the Jovian Moons. With the confirmation of Extra-Terrestial life, will scientists doing SETI through radio or whatever, will they be more open to any potential candidate? Instead of something that very clearly to an untrained me looks more like life than some natural process I can come up with and they say it's cosmic rays interacting with an interstellar cloud of hydrogen or something, they send a signal right back at any stars in that area.

[@Flies2FLL]

-There will be NO large scale exploration of space until we come up with alternatives to chemical rockets.

[@chrisdooley1184]

Between these missions to Jupiter and those selected moons and some true transparencies and disclosure regarding those utterly incredible UAP/UFOs the government is finally coming clean about, I think I might just see some evidence, even if just microbial, of life beyond this planet. That makes me excited 😊

[@frankfowlkes7872]

Callisto offers the most promise for future manned missions to the the Jupiter system. Callisto is situated outside of the dangerous radiation belt of Jupiter and could serve as a perfect base for rovers on the surface of the other moons. A rover on Europa or Ganyemede could be controlled from Callisto in very close to real time with no danger of radiation. Callisto would also be a perfect jump off spot to the outer Solar System.
