Why scientists find Jupiter’s icy moon Europa so intriguing | DW News

A NASA spacecraft has successfully blasted off from the US Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Europa Clipper probe is on a mission to explore one of Jupiter’s moons — Europa. After a five-and-a-half-year journey, the craft will enter orbit around Jupiter and take a look at its icy moon.

  1. Let me explore it for you before you spend my tax money on it: It's unlivable. Now go do some real work.

  2. I always think that any human beings living in anywhere out of Earth for generations will lead to speciation. We have evolved for Earth’s crust, with every protection offered by its atmosphere and magnetosphere and what have you.

    Having said that, I still don’t have an opinion whether speciation of homo sapiens would be good or bad.

  3. First ensure continual livability of all species on Earth instead of wasting your brains and resources thinking about colonising other worlds.

  4. Fvck the haters! Lets see if there is other life in our galaxy! Ive been waiting for years for this! Fascinating! ❤

  5. The Universe is very wet. All Earth neighbors will show signs of life. Because collisions of objects with Earth will have thrown them into all near Earth bodies. Not because all life evolves on every Earth like planet.

  6. I'm so freaking tired of this absolute theory being thrown around, we have absolutely no idea if is the most absolute ridiculous thing I could guess which is water down there, why don't we guess some absolute facts….that could change……absolute nonsense for freaking years over one guess 12 years ago, I can make guesses better than this, how about that icy moons are Frozen.

    Hmmmmmm that's logical wow 😅😅😅😅😅😅lol

  7. He starts saying one of the Mons have ocean and than says lets find out if there is ocean😳 which is which😳

  8. Not good. There are huge sharks, deadly poisonous sea snakes and giant squid three times bigger than anything on Earth ….. and slime.

  9. I am pretty sure they'll be able to find a way to settle all the pale Westies to settle on this new land and bring it into the fold of CIVILIZATION.

  10. ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE. USE THEM TOGETHER. USE THEM IN PEACE. – 2010: The Year We Make Contact

  11. It can't make life on Earth better, we can't live there and we can't bring anything useful back. So why do scientists find it so intriguing? I came here looking for the answer to that question because I've been seeing headlines about this that say it's good for humans. But the answer is because there might be life there and scientists are inherently curious; nothing more. Nothing for humans, there.
