[@erikziak1249]

My deepest respect to all the scientists, engineers and technicians behind these projects. Such endeavors are the pinnacle of humble collective effort of thousands of talented people. I am not a part of the mechanism, but that does not mean I cannot share my enthusiasm and show support for projects of this kind.

[@Pietrosavr]

Technically, everyone is sort of part of the mechanism. Public interest is important for funding, and someone must make and deliver food to the scientists, others have to make the machines, roads and everything. This requires an entire civilisation. Think about it this way, if you've sent those scientists, along with all their equipment, back to the stone age, they couldn't have done anything really. No power lines, no easy access to food and water nor medicine. They would've had to hunt and gather to survive and most would die early. We are all contributing in a small way :)

So it takes 7 years to reach just Jupiter, god we are slow. Mad respect for the patience of scientists and engineers working on the project.

[@myth1210]

I feel like that too. We are actually slow, unless there is alternative for rocket fuels

[@linecraftman3907]

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

[@theunknowman12]

Its not like we are slow, its just space are stupidly big

[@saintIpie0000]

Its so damn far, much further distance earth to sun. Damn space

[@jeffspaulding9834]

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.

[@Draykshaper]

I've heard lots of videos and articles say Jupiter has big radiation belts, but this is the first time the "why" is actually explained. Thank you so much!

[@bigtomar]

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.

10:45 - This device was later renamed "NotSnotBot" to avoid offense. Later, it was miniaturized (the TotNotSnotBot) to reduce weight, extending flight-times for the same fuel or battery. It now has containers that are jettisoned when full of sample so that the full weight of sample isn't borne for the entire flight, which is thus lengthened further. Human eyes easily locate the flotation-equipped TotNotSnotBotPots for collection because of the vividly-colored circles (TotNotSnotBotPotDots) decorating each, delivered by the manufacturer a million at a time (the standard TotNotSnotBotPotDotLot).

This tickles my brain.

But I'm no rocket scientist so its just an assumption.

[@wjspade]

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.

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
