[@TwoBs]

You don’t understand pressure, do you? Read up on what cave divers have to do when going down so many feet, how long it takes them to resurface to acclimate their bodies as they can’t just swim directly up. We can’t just freely go down into the ocean and back up with no issues. You see what happened to the Oceangate stuff with the submersible, right? Pressure caused it to cave in like a squashed can and _pop_ … and they were in something designed to go down so many feet, but you can’t be down there long. We can’t exactly protect equipment and people going down that far to the very bottom. We’ve only been able to go down so many feet below sea level, but places like the Mariana Trench are nigh impossible for us to freely go down into towards the bottom completely even with proper equipment we have today that allows us to go so many feet down. The pressure there is THAT immense. We’re able to do it with space due to no gravity, but the gravity here on earth causes the pressure to be much more. It’s basic common sense … and it’s scary how many people watch videos like this and get TikTok tier news fed to them and think they’re being intellectuals while thinking everyone else is dumb despite completely misunderstanding (or intentionally ignoring) basic science. Come on …

I wonder if we could seed life on Europa or Encealedus? Would it even be right to do that? I guess there's a super low chance that it could even effect life on Earth at all, so philisophically it's nuetral at worst and potentially godlike at best. Essentially, my idea is to transport plankton to one of these worlds (probably encealadus.) On Encealadus you have the outgassing effect that theoretically opens holes in the ice crust, a phenomenon we haven't observed on a large scale from Europa. If there are holes that periodically open then theoretically light from the sun can touch the water inside the crust of Encealadus. If that's the case then maybe it's possible to get phytoplankton to survive there and conduct photosynthises : O

'let's swim to the moon, let's climb up through the tides' ... every letter of every word of that line of lyrics is true. The moon is an asteroid stuck in the sky, it didn't make it all the way through.
