Q&A 49: How Would We Drill Into Europa? And More...

Описание: In this week's questions show, I explain why I never get to the point, if we'll ever reach interstellar space, and how we'd get down below the ice sheet on Europa.

Questions
------------------
Hi There

9 minutes and you've just circled the question. This strategy for presenting info is why i don't watch discovery channel or the history channel. I think its a bad strategy.

Ryan Guitard

Do you think we’ll ever reach interstellar space?

Hi Fraser, Are there known nebula outside of galaxies. If a rogue star went supernova would we be able to see the supernova remnants if there were no other stars around?

Vancouver Island eh ? I hear there are lots of sightings of sasquatch on Vancouver Is. Have you ever seen or heard them in the woods ? Do you believe in them ?

Peter Houle

what if you struck a match on Titan? or Venus?

Jughead Jones

Don't forget Fraser you live in the mildest Winter zone in Canada! I would swap with you any day! ; )

Fraser, if we sent a submarine drone to an icy moon of Saturn or Jupiter. how would the logistics of drilling into the ice work? First how would we be able to keep the insertion hole itself from freezing as I'm assuming the communication back to earth will be done via a cable running from the submarine to the surface of the moon? Also wouldn't this whole operation be insanely hard to sterilize to keep Earth's bacteria from invading the ocean of an alien moon?

Jack Kenny

Is it possible that we've yet to discover an element that belongs somewhere on the periodic table? Maybe it isn't naturally occurring on earth, but elsewhere in the universe. My inspiration for this question is the marvel universe's metal Vibranium. I appreciate everything you do on your channel and keep up the good work!

Is returning to the Moon even worth it? With the toxic Asbestos-like regolith and low bone-wasting gravity, is it worth setting up a base at all? Or is it simply better to stay for a little while just to know that our rockets work, just as they did in the Apollo era?

Colpo Rosso

I choose snow! Is there snow on Titan? uuhh, that sweet sweet methane snow

Erick Horning

Hey Fraser, is there a plausible scenario that could cause Earth to be tossed out of our solar system

2038??? Jeeez what’s the point. Seems like a long time to wait and a highly risky mission for a couple grams of comet dust!
