Visiting the NASA Lab Looking for Life in Our Solar System

[@StarTalk]

Since scientists are working on eel-like robots to explore Europa, what other unique designs or abilities would you add to help them navigate and study an alien ocean?

[@smashboyi]

alien ocean!🥶

[@droptzbliss9652]

EARTH IS FLAT ❤

[@writerseye]

A tethered onboard camera is a prerequisite right? I just want to see it in all its beauty.

[@writerseye]

Also, wouldn't the constant loss of water from the geysers (evaporating into space on the surface) eventually cause the collapse the moon?

[@GRestores]

Small stuff is prob best for cost and efficiency. Like a bunch of small drilling robots instead of a one or a couple big ones, that way the fail rate on equipment won’t hurt as much

[@BrisketChef]

This totally feels like a a good old fashion School field trip. Thanks Neil!

[@connie4334]

I love watching Neil interact with other scientists. He doesn’t pretend he knows everything and asks a lot of questions for his sake and the audiences.

[@hammertyme8392]

[@BlackArrowGaming]

These "field trip" style videos are a ton of fun to watch, especially when they feature Q&A sessions with so many other brilliant scientists and engineers! Props to your team for all the extra work they do in terms of recording and editing this type of content. It's well worth it :)

[@seantlewis376]

"We found life with EELS!" Great line to finish on. Keep doing great stuff like this.

This is one of my favorite StarTalk videos yet.

[@OffendingTheOffendable]

His genuine happiness to see Laurie was nice to see

[@doyouevenhustlePODCAST]

The possibility that sulfur, ejected from the volcanoes on IO might be responsible for life on Europa is absolutely INSANE. If true, the implications could mean that life on Earth started in a similar fashion. Hurts the mind, just thinking about it.

[@bullbearjeff]

Agreed. Chuck would have blown another gasket! This is just incredible science !

[@G45H3R]

I made a post on one of NDT's other vids saying that I was optimistic that they would find life on Europa in 2030. You would not believe the number of hateful comments I got telling me that my optimism was misplaced and that my feelings were wrong. I was trying to be uplifting and all I got was trolls.....so sad. We WILL find life. I just have to believe it. It will make our universe an infinitely more interesting place than it already is. I love science. I love science fiction. I love knowledge. Keep it coming. Never let the trolls and science deniers win.

[@ridvan6508]

I am so so grateful i have access to this content for Free. It brings me emotions to see how people from different cultures, ethnicities, traditions, etc; collaborate together sharing the same passion and joy for science and curiosity. Thank you so much Neil and all the people behind that makes possible this content to get to us. StarTalk has helped me so much learning English, i am autodidact and watching Startalk for 1 year has taught me so many things including the English Language. I am so grateful. Sorry for misspelling words or bad grammar, i am still learning. Love you all.

[@priver9866]

I listened to the Sputnik beep on the radio with my father, to see the leaps and bounds of technologies since is astounding.

[@MarinCipollina]

Sputnik was launched in 1957, the year I was born. This was the beginning of the space age. I grew up watching the early launches in Cape Canaveral with the Apollo Program, which included Project Mercury and Project Gemini. Those were heady times

[@SommetiderHvorforDetRoligRolig]

Making that eel able to move around by itself is an insane task.. it has to keep track of all the different "wheels", and calculate how much pressure is put on each spot, and soo much more.. its wild.

[@ccorvid]

it's voice isn't slithery enough though. 9/10.

[@MarinCipollina]

The really tough part was the design. They had to get that right. After that, the rest is just geometry and programming. It’s an elegant design.

[@De4dCert]

Neil what you do here is amazing! I learn something new with every episode.

[@ObserverChat]

I have tears in my eyes. This warmth my heart knowing there are good and smart people out there that are working on great stuff that helps me get out of bed to yet another depressing news coming from all over the globe. thank you for this great and optemistic video. there's definatly something to look for ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Damonpeters1950]

I love this show - all the questions from subscribers - and all angles and answers by Neil and other Scientists- along with Scientific explanations and graphics - one is literally taken to other Worlds.

[@andrepecego5094]

I was already excited about clipper and this made me feel way more excited with EELS

[@ccorvid]

my only criticism of them is that they didn't use this voice for the AI: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipqXpKR9bZp5i5Ysi=PvhdocuB9Nrfj7Jm

This was really amazing to see how far we've come so quickly. I'm amazed at how fast science is advancing.

[@Siladzy]

Everyone is so passionate about what they’re doing ❤❤❤

[@IamKnucks]

Neil, I need you to explain to me why there are so many bad thinkers in the world. Why do people struggle so much with reasoning? I'm not talking about people who land on different conclusions, I'm talking about the people who didn't even bother to think past the initial automatic thought.

[@MrSomethingElse]

Hey, everyone knows that the earth is flat and that europas oceans contain pyramids that contain the remnants of the library of Alexandria, duh.....

[@Ionut-bg6vw]

For example when you explain to someone that maybe God doesn't exist and there may be aliens with a technology that we can't understand and the only answer is that they look at you badly and you're crazy

[@christopherrseay3148]

nature plus nurture. our educational institutions on the whole don't foster an environment where critical thinking is paramount. many aspects of our culture do not prioritize reasoning skills. we need to do this at an early age, middle to high school, because we know most adults will not prioritize learning how to critically think. which is fair, adults have a lot to worry about. they've matured and likely learned many habits that reduce their ability or desire to reason. plus, the world is a very complicated place--reasoning, believe it or not, is not something all adults have the ability to learn later in life (due to time and other pressing responsibilities). we need to change our education system!

[@Maxander2001]

Why not try to explain why there are good thinkers? :) Perhaps easier to figure the smaller group out...

[@isatousarr7044]

It's exciting to see NASA taking bold steps in the search for life within our solar system! With advanced technology and new exploration missions, NASA’s laboratories are expanding our understanding of where life might exist beyond Earth. Discovering even the smallest sign of life would be transformative, reshaping our knowledge of biology and the universe itself. This journey not only fuels our curiosity but also brings us closer to answering one of humanity's greatest questions: Are we alone? Kudos to NASA for pushing the boundaries of science and exploration!

[@MarinCipollina]

Thank you so much for this one Neil ! I absolutely loved this one, especially at the end when it was discovered that the E.E.L. found life. That was a mic drop.
