Hello, wonderful Anton. This is person.
-
Always was perplexed why everyone is ignoring Titan compared to other moons. Titan should take priority over the other bodies. The science that can be done on Titan, especially in abiotic research and early Earth type research will blow everything else out of the water!
-
That Titan mission would be sending images back around 2032? Hope we are all still around. I would like to see that.
-
I can't believe I got to see the surface of Titan in my lifetime. This is truly remarkable. TY Anton!
-
I would rather listen to Anton than any other science channel on YouTube. Thank you sir.
-
Titan and Enceladus are so fascinating.
-
If I could, I’d definitely support this channel. Anton is super awesome. Thanks for all that you do Anton. We love you!!!
-
Our database on the origin and nature of life is limited to one tiny planet in an unlimited universe! There just isn't enough information to make assumptions about life elsewhere, unless we first make the assumption that it is similar to earth life. Thanks Anton!
-
1:25 this image of Titan’s surface is one of my favorite images in existence… simple, but mind blowing when you grasp the context😮
-
Thanks so much, Anton.
-
Thanks once more, Anton!
-
The Trouble with Titan is a book I read in the 60s.
-
Thank you, Anton, for bringing so many interesting scientific subjects into the public's view. My kid loves your videos and I'm really happy you stir up his curiosity. You are doing a universal public service.
-
I can't wait to hear what they find out about Titan! I would really like to see more of Titan and Enceladus from future observations.
-
Yes I watched this live as it happened when I worked at JPL on the Mars Phoenix Scout lander mission.
-
Excellent content as ever, Anton.
-
> the most organic-rich icy moon in the solar system > if we don't find life here, we're unlikely to find it elsewhere You mean elsewhere in the solar system right?
-
In my mind, the limited tonnage of amino acids being supplied to titan doesn't need to be sufficient to perpetuate life. These amino acids can sink down further towards the rocky core parts that are carbon-rich and form basic life that can produce organics/hydrocarbons from the environment. It's just a thought and I'd have to investigate the specifics, but I'm hopeful that it could happen. A big question is if there is lightning there
-
Great stuff Anton --- your comments are always stimulating
