What's NASA Trying to Find at the Bottom of the Ocean? 

Your content is superb, Alex. What I love most is someone who is as passionate about space as I am. I have never supported channels, but I honestly believe you deserve it. 🎉 love from South Africa 🇿🇦

When are you going to make a video on white privilege? In what specific instances did White privilege assist you throughout your life? How did White privilege help you grow this RU-vid channel? What are some of the ramifications of white privilege and why there are so many successful white RU-vidrs??

@@DakotaFord592 white privilege doesn’t exist.

​@@DakotaFord592why are there so many black rappers. RU-vidrs are usually white cause i can understand them. Prefrences.

Albino where ur shovel at

To be fair we’ve mapped mars better than the oceans

The old "not enough learned about our own homeworld" excuse 😯

We're here, why should we go over there? I can think of many many reasons. Doing both is more interesting.

"No no no, you don't understand, that's _why_ we're trying to leave."

and there's the underwater variation of UAPs - ex Navy folks have accounts just like the better known airmen accounts

I got stuck on starfish being a space reference....... Can't tell you how many times I read that 👏🤣

Well in that case, i think weve already found em😆 And can confirm the SECRET FORMULA: 🦀

Obviously not.

@@vaenii5056 Lol. Nice fantasy but nope.

@@dogwalker666 It's never aliens.

Uho.... we're not supposed to attempt any landing there! 🤭

I wish

Oh do I hope you're right!

@@JoranaRowan why?

This is for space travel. They're literally a space agency. Lmao

You actually get notifications? Lucky

You must be real naughty ! 😉

Still waiting for my Astrum "Ding"... Found it by accident, also found out that after a update, most of my Notification Bell checks were unchecked 😐 why YT. Why

More people like you needed with altruistic hearts. God bless you

​@gtesremos well said I agree , hope you had a great weekend or having a good one if you are Canadian like me.

Yeah we have been exploring the ocean before space. Space just became popular sense it’s out of this world.

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.

@@trinityanderson859watch the movie abyss 1987 and you will know why

It’s more that it is far cheaper and easier to explore space than it is to explore the deep depths of our oceans

Fr

Europa, Enceladus, both are believed to have oceans and NASA has talked about submarine missions for years. Venus will melt any electronic systems we can currently build.

The pressure part is already solved. What is holding us back is the temperature. At surface Venus pressure is "just" the same of 900m depth on Earth. There are several submarines that routinely go there.

@@sysbofh and the acidity.

We are intending to go to Europa, which is an ocean world (or moon if you prefer), makes sense to test things in an ocean.

@@M1ggins It's solved too. Everyday we transport strong acids, this is a known quantity. What we can't do (yet) is electronics that stand 450C. Even batteries are already solved (take a look at molten batteries). In fact, those batteries would feel right at home.

I love that game 😂 I would not want to meet the creature's in that , for sure .

@@MardyMotherThe reaper Leviathan says hi

And its absolutely epic ❤

NASA does what it's allowed to do through funding. They've realized many things for decades. It's the federal government who has to be convinced.

Why call it alien when it's literally from our planet haha

@@johnnymitnick we have only explored 5% of our oceans. That's about as alien as it can be.

Whut? Brother nasa is not founded neither funded to work on ocean "alien life" but can learn a lot on plate tectonics, sediments-just to understand other planets...

Shouldn't NAOA be doing all this instead ? NASA needs it's budget for "up there".

Shh. As long as we get pretty pictures.

Couldn't be more wrong 😂 our gov prints money out of thin air and spends trillions of unaccounted dollars

@@thecooldude71 NASA spending budget is really sad tbh.

@@thecooldude71 Have you seen how low NASA's budget is? It's like 0.8% of the total US spending

@@thecooldude71yea but none of that is on nasa, They’ve been getting nothing but pay cuts recently.

Ironically humans seem to be the only animals so interested in other animals 😂 like I don’t see cats studying mice and dogs 😂😂 that just hit me

@@dreammaker9642 haha yeah it's quite remarkable and funny if you really think about it. We're the only one going "OH!!! Look at that random animal doing something relatable or totally weird" 🤭 IDK who first said it but I remember some quote about us being the universe, staring back at itself. I quite like that perspective ^^

@@CenarosNL I do like that perspective 😂 although sometimes the way my cat would look at me he was definitely thinking “what is this chimp up to now?” 😂 lmao as I’m writing this my dog also gave me that look on queue 😂

Bimini islands have much activity apparently

Yup! NASA has PLENTY of experience working underwater

I was born to question this stuff.

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 …

This particular question has been answered at least 15 times on youtube alone. 1 google search and you get an answer. But God forbid you'd actually look something up right

@@JoeyP946 im talking about technology, not funding.

Oh Don't worry, we get reincarnated. So you'll see it, you just wont remember wanting to.

Noooooo you don't lol Just be glad you live now when you do, it might seem rough but that's because you got nothing to compare it to. Be happy.

@@genericalfishtycoon3853 Daddy Elon gonna give us Robot Bodies and we're gonna out-live the sun!!.. (or maybe a Week cause Daddy gave us a Temu battery pack)

@@rogerwilco1777 lol Temu battery packs, they'd probably just explode. 😅

I feel the same way

That’s what I’m saying. We are proof life is out there. I believe so called aliens are just different breed of human

yea. That's why we share so much DNA and biology with all other living things on this planet. Cause we aliens

I always said this

You mean virus

Exactly......finally somebody who thinks like me!!!@stacynapier26

Because we have only mapped 25% of our ocean IN DETAIL (sonar). We have lower resolution maps of the entire ocean that provide depths with a certain margin of error. With our current technology, there's no evidence that there is a deeper part. Possible, but probably not likely.

Damn, bloke. I watched that episode last night. 😂

Love a good RD reference 😅

What is it? Is it sand? It gotta be sand right?

Wouldn’t the same argument apply for mapping land?

@@SerfinBird sand and those covid face masks

More accurately you don’t want to know what’s down there. However the “90% of the ocean is unexplored” part isn’t accurate cause 90% is actually just plain open ocean of nothing. Life is a lot more localised than you think.

⁠@@dreammaker9642now you really believe 90% is just “plain” ocean. I got a few bridges for you, only $20 mil each

Possibly under the much more Earthlike icecaps on Mars.

...and plastic.. lots of plastic

​@@rogerwilco1777Bonesss 😸

I thought they were still working on it but knew what they had to do. Good if they've got it working.

@@rais1953 as far as I'm aware they're still doing tests to make sure its 100% working as intended, I haven't heard much since but I hope it gets back to giving useful data again, fingers crossed

It's easier to engineer for a pressure differential of 1 atmosphere than one of 100 atmospheres or more...

Probably because it's the aeronautics and space administration, not the subsurface ocean administration.

He explained why in the video I’m pretty sure.

The possibilities are endless. Any kind of life will be enough. Saying out right there won’t be any is naive.

@@notturok7841 Naive but a fact nonetheless.

@@WilsonTexasRageryou misspelled “opinion”

😶‍🌫️ Are you out there, truth?

Well, I guess you will continue to live in ignorance.

The title makes sense to me

NASA's main job is studying things that affect aeronautics, and space travel(including astronaut health). It wasn't until the late 1960's that science started to understand just how much the ocean controlled the atmosphere. So they started studying the ocean.
