Aliens of the Deep

00:00:54 At the centre of our existence is a powerful dynamo.

00:05:33 These deep ocean expeditions always seem like space missions to me.

00:08:37 We chose the "Ares" for the giant A-frame at her stern.

00:12:17 but I don't think we should try for an all-up drill tonight

00:16:57 MIR Two, MIR Two, this is Rover Two. Do you copy? Over.

00:20:35 Looking at life in the extreme conditions of the deep ocean.

00:25:30 Are you seeing this thing? Look at this

00:32:00 and particularly I study the earthquakes that these volcanoes make.

00:35:57 When the sea water seeps down to the molten rock just beneath the new crust

00:40:28 Oh, yeah

00:44:39 since the oceans were formed.

00:48:15 I study the process of exploration.

00:51:27 that allows them to accomplish their tasks.

00:54:29 Mars is the obvious first place to look for life in the solar system

00:57:55 Poyehaly.

01:02:00 and, using many of that failed mission's spare parts

01:05:31 We may find that icy little worlds like Europa

01:09:04 Yes. We got crabs. Big time. It's, like, full.

01:13:10 The best way to visualize this stuff is wherever you see something black

01:16:30 These animals don't even have a stomach.

01:19:49 So where might oxygen come from on Europa?

01:24:03 because you can think about this thing as the distant ancestor of a vehicle

01:27:06 with an animal that came right up to us and touched the ROV like that

30:40:05 the actual pick point of the submersible
