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 …

The title makes sense to me
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
Excellent
I remember hearing that they tried to do this several decades ago and when they found what they were looking for they immediately started building a rocket to go to the moon. I’m not sure what they found but the fact that they canceled that exploration and immediately went to space always made me think about why.
Answering the title cold... Learning how to conduct missions in extreme pressure environments. Venus is pretty hostile... Jovian and Saturnian moons have oceans... Got a handy ocean or two here to get some practice in before trying anything tough....
I saw the "We should not be here", but I'm reminded of the similarities between other worlds in our solar system and oceanic depths. Like what is suspected to lie at depth in Uranus or Neptune. Or the more hellish versions in Jupiter, probably in Saturn, and possibly on Venus (if dense CO2 can become liquid-like. ... Until we have standardized or bespoke vehicles designed for that kind of on-/in-planet travel, NASA is probably a best-choice for initial investigating.
Oh wow this is seriously nuts.
I don't know if it is a good or bad thing, that the most unrealistic thing in the Europa mission (that i can imagine) is the 200 Kilometer Kable that the lander would have to carry
As long as they leave the moon alone, they can go long and deep to the bottom of the ocean since we can't take care of the land earth.
Big honkin' moray eel outside Aquarius Reef Base @4:15 into the video.
If they're using a heat source to burrow down through the ice, how are they going to stop the surface hole, up near the lander deploying the heat source, from freezing over?
First thing popped into my mind when I saw the thumbnail was aliens
@ 3:40 I always knew SeaLab was real
My best guess is they are trying to simulate something like diving in Titan. Or at least some moon with water. They will need submersible tech for their distant plans.
The start of this video is basically the feeling I get with just normal life … on land …
There was a recent story I heard about a craft in the ocean and clear bodied humanoids
I've always wondered.Why don't we try and build a colony on the bottom of the ocean. It might be a great testing facility for outer space. And if something went wrong we might be able to help them.
We know more about space than the ocean. Makes perfect sense for them to be there. We’ve only studied about 5% of the ocean. Most of that was done by Jacques Cousteau.
We do have a planet where the atmospheric pressure is so great that crushes our probes. Seems like the ocean would be a good start
I share the same opinion as others that we should research our own planet before going elsewhere and the ocean is something that always bugged me.
