No I don't believe there is. It takes so many things to go right for life to be successful. Then it takes so many things for that life to evolve. Just because we have life that can survive space on earth, doesn't mean that those same variables were given off earth for that life to evolve. I think life is the rarest thing that exists in the universe and I'd be shocked if we humans, with our current technology, were ever able to locate it. It's a fun thing to assume tho..
@@Geezer-yf8hv I never could find a detailed discussion on the rotation climate control of the space suit (meaning how does the suit climate mechanics apply instant correction temperatures while the astronaut is turning from extreme heat while the other side in -100 of icy cold ) keeping the astronaut balance from icy 250 degrees to cool and a chilly -208 degrees Fahrenheit to warm. Especially when an astronaut steps away from the sunlight towards the dark shade. Nobody can explain how this is remotely possible.
That's Doctor and Lord for 2024 Please respect the titles (E-8 2nd Marine Raider Battalion Charlie company E.O.D)(TU Bruiser TU Ramadi Camp Jenny Pozzi and Camp Ramadi)
Before today I had never heard of Laurie Leshin, but what an absolute delight she is! Very informative, straight to the point in most of her answers, and clearly has a great understanding of the topics put forward. All of those titles and achievements are clearly well deserved, and I very much hope she returns with updates on the progress that I'm sure JPL will make. This was wonderful to watch, thanks Neil and Chuck and the people at StarTalk for this very delightful and stimulating episode.

This is one of the best StarTalk guests you've had. Please continue to bring Dr. Leshin back! I'm an alum of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and have met Dr. Leshin a few times. She's even more engaging in person. WPI was very lucky to have had her and JPL will thrive with her as the Director. Thank you Dr. Leshin!
Every time Neil is posted on social media I just see a lot of haters man. I hope they watch startalk for a change. I'm smiling from start to finish they don't know what they're missing out on.
Yet another excellent and very informative video Neil, Chuck & Laurie! Looking forward to what they find on that mission to Europa! Gotta have Laurie back for that one! 👍👍💥💥😉😉
This was so terrific, what a great first episode of the year to watch, Laurie was an amazing guest I hope she comes back, Chuck and Neil, amazing as always
In Pasadena Ca. about two miles south of JPL near the entrance of the 110 freeway there is a large barn style building (now a manufacturing building i worked in at one time) that used to serve the lab as a wind test tunnel back in the early days... The most impressive thing wasn't the size of the contruct, but the size of an underground freight elevator large enough to hold an ENTIRE semi tractor-trailer (!!!) that connects via an almost 2 mile long tunnel to JPL!!! During lunch breaks we would head down to the tunnel and would play either basketball or volleyball in that space, it was that large!!!
What a great guest. Super knowledgeable and quick wit. Upbeat and engaging personality. Fun watch. Obvious why Neil would want her back as a more frequent guest. He knows it will always be a great interview . JPL looks like it has a great leader.
At this point, I think we need a special episode guest starring Alejandro and Sommelier. They're regulars on the show now, and they always ask just great questions too!
Chuck and Neil, I am now retired from Lockheed Martin and spend far too much time watching StarTalk on my TV and computer. Buttering you up first - you guys are the most enjoyable and educational of all the programs I watch. I am not alone. Many of my family and extended family are addicted to you both. Neil, my cousin Mary in Baton Rouge gave me your book Starry Messenger for Christmas. YES! Outstanding. I wish I could afford to be one of your contributors, however - retirement has me on a budget for now. I do hope you will not block me from future comments after this. Chuck, please consider raising your camera about 5 inches back off from your camera about 6 to 7 inches. Your handsome face is very pleasant, however, putting your posture in the same format/proportion as Neil and most of your guests, would be greatly appreciated. I will be a fan forever, even if you don't implement my suggestion. Very Respectfully, Mike Kler, Salem, Oregon.
Your show will NEVER get old! There is always new stuff coming out, ( a LOT, thanks to the Webb telescope)! And the universe is so big, there always new things to learn, whether it’s infinite, or not!
Everyone needs to check out Chuck Nice stand up on RU-vid. I only knew him from this show, and some of the stuff he does on TV, and having seen him doing stand up has given me a new respect for the guy. I should say a different respect for because I already enjoyed him on StarTalk
Educational, engaging and well articulated episode. Lord Nice is indeed the ultimate host, their is no comedic host that can pull off the voice of "Mexican Drug kingpin " Esteban Montoya "Lord Nice nails it every time 😆 🤣 😂
That moon trip to Europa is something I've been looking forward to for years. What if microorganisms or even bigger forms of life are found there? I don't even know if that would be great or concerning news, actually.
@@michaelccopelandsr7120 I believe they would serve as a proof extraterrestrial life is more than a possibility and some more friendlier atmosphere(s) may host some more complex forms of life. That would be quite mind-boggling to contemplate and every UFO event on Earth would be seen in a much different light (no pun intended).
NASA Kelly scientific engineer said astronauts cannot go beyond the impact of the arc meaning the bow shock. Video call Trial By Fire. We have only been successful with humans in an ionosphere the lower portion of the mesosphere is the only equatorial space inhabitable by man. ***** (Note: The present name of the Van Allen Belts is called the "magnetosphere" which is a group of an assortment of bands) ***** China recently discovered how to make a northern and southern orbital point while NASA astronauts still do not understand. It's public knowledge, and both NASA and SpaceX are still working on it. As you may already know, the failure of the U.S. Skylab has been destroyed by highly ionizing radiation, and I don't think it's considered an anomaly. Whereas Russia (HENCE - Mir and the International Space Station) had already gain successful missions. The furthest point humans ever went was to repair the Hubble 358 miles and pass that was the SpaceX dragon capsule of last year that travels 360 miles. Also, a NASA Orion unmanned spacecraft went about 364 miles and launched in 2014. If I'm wrong, please do me a favour and tell me why I'm here to discuss this.
@@AwesomeBlackDude I don't think we'll see a manned mission anywhere further than the moon in a while, as that 50 year old gentleman asked in this video. I recall Europa mission being mentioned somewhere between 2013 and 2014 (that's when I first heard about it). Just knowing they are really actively working on this Europa mission now is amazing. Their initial idea was to send some submarine probe to explore the potential oceanic surface below the ice layer. Sure it would all be robotic probes only. Manned Mars missions seem to have been abandoned (until Elon Musk brought it up again) because of the psychological burden astronauts would face along the way, in confinement. This is also amazing to see that the most difficult part of that type of mission is purely human reasons rather than technical ones.
@@rohrichoak9740 extraterrestrials no. Seeing as how they would be from the same Terran solar system as us. By definition, that would make them, "terrestrials." Same as us. Wouldn't that make them family? Of course we can't even get along with ourselves. Difficult to see us treating them any better.
chuck was like ironman??? NO!!! IRON MAIDEN!!! and suddenly, 50,000 rock fans(not the geological rocks either) found even more reason to like lord nice!!
I can absolutely see how she has gotten to where she is, and that's not even seeing her I'm only assuming brilliant mind at work. She seems absolutely awesome.
This was great! You all are so funny Laurie has a great sense of humor. She's perfect for Director. I wish they would add a cubesat to Psyche to drop on the asteroid to get some close up samples and pictures.
One of Dr Leshin's colleagues had a great presentation on a World Science Festival panel explaining how certain building blocks of life would always undergo the same reaction with eachother. If that happens here, it can happen anywhere and he's convinced about an abundance of life in the universe. And one form or another. Microbial life in our solar system seems therefor very plausible and fingers crossed for more advanced lifeforms. There doesn't seem to be indication for somekind of Sentient life however. Perhaps there once was a native sentient species somewhere, long forgotten for wich they simply didn't line up with our short window of human's existence, let alone the mere 100 years we actually started to monitor into space.
Shes right, Arizona is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I want to move there when my daughter graduates. We were just in Phoenix this past summer, and went to Sedona and the Grand Canyon. IMHO Arizona is the prettiest state in the US, there is so much to see
What an awesome Q&A. She's NASA Administrator material for sure. Also, I was really surprised to hear that GWB put together a team, which included these two (yea not Lord Chuck).
Love the science, of course, but congratulations to the extremely smart and charming Laurie Leshin. It would be great to hear more from her in the future! :)
They should take the Mars samples to ISS and let them open them first, before the bring them to Earth. Has everyone here read The Andromeda Strain? If not, you should.
Neil and Chuck, can i ask you a big big big favor? Can you guys hire someone to put subtitles on your videos? Would be even better if there were translations available... im from Brazil, and i speak English but a lot of friends and family dont, and i would love to help spread the knowledge you so kindly share with us.
@@lordvader199 i tried, and didnt seem to work... dont know what the problem could be... maybe youtube's IA couldnt recognize voices in this video, so it didnt display closed captions...
Europa report, what a great movie, love it. I hope it doesn't come reality, but you never know what's below that moon-ice cap... What a great show, very informative.
Sir, it would be very grateful if you could conduct webinars on Science(Astronomy, Physics) for high school students(9-12)for our proper idea of mankind in the universe...😅
@Ogel Smogel He used to be much worse about it but he has gotten much better lately...He mostly does it just to try and keep everybody on the same page...It used to annoy the crap out of me but I understand why he does it most of the time...
I'm 100% certain there is life in the oceans of Europa & Encelidus. Also, I've solved the dark matter problem. Information has mass. Mass has gravity. Dark matter is all the knowledge and thoughts of every being in the universe. Neil, you can be my "plus one" at my Nobel acceptance speech. ✌
