1. We should really get back to the moon sometime. The fossil remains of earth's first life, which has been destroyed here by geological processes, should be there for us to recover. (Transported by asteroid impacts from our surface to the moon's) We can learn much more about how life began, and it's not that far! Back to the moon, pronto!
2. 2 flat earthers disliked this presentation cause it completely destroys their stupid argument.
3. Where are the FET believers at? Why don't they go prove these guys wrong. This should all be bs if the earth is flat. Should be fairly easy for them to disprove all this evidence. Funny how they never comment on something like this.
4. Fantastic lecture! Build it and get Jeff Bezos to launch it on a test flight of his newly announced rocket in 2020. With the LOx/LH third stage it could probably throw 3-5 tonnes on a Hohmann-transfer to Jupiter or Saturn, no need for gravity assists.
5. This was a great lecture, truly informative, thanks
6. would it be able to carbon date any of these things?
7. kor sub please
8. At the glacial pace we are moving on all this, if there is life in our solar system I won't live to find out about it. The Europa mission is both way off in time, and disappointing in its capabilities. And there is not even an Enceladus mission on the drawing board. It's quite annoying that in its entire 57 year history, NASA has never sent a probe to any destination which actually had the capability of detecting life. The standard excuse always being that "we need more information before we can do that". The excuse is wearing thin.
9. Why can't I cast this video to my tv? is it the video or my computer? The cast icon will not appear.
10. Excellent talk, particularly like the suggestion that detecting life may be done by detecting low entropy compounds that would not be generated by "normal" chemical reactions.
