Snoopy in Space: The Search for Life — S02E05 — Europa

00:00:21 All right, there's ice on Mars,

00:00:31 But we shouldn't just look in one spot.

00:00:42 Great work, everyone. All this talk of ice sure is making me thirsty.

00:00:58 So if we wanna find life, we should explore a place that has lots of water. So if we wanna find life, we should explore a place that has lots of water.

00:01:22 It's covered in ice.

00:01:34 If we search Europa, who knows what we'll find.

00:01:41 NASA is very interested in Europa as a potential place to find life

00:02:21 Well, we'd need someone who's very skilled at operating robots.

00:03:24 How's our search going? Any updates?

00:04:39 Like I said, we are never going to find anything on this snowball. Just ice.

00:04:49 Marcie, can you enhance the image?

00:04:57 That's liquid water.

00:05:45 The gravitational pull from Jupiter's orbit is so strong,

00:05:56 We're not sure yet,

00:06:10 They're like geysers but on the ocean floor.

00:06:19 The exact minerals that form the building blocks of life.

00:06:33 Having water, energy and organics is a good start,

00:06:47 from single-celled organisms to giant sea creatures.

00:07:01 I'm not sure I'm ready to think about space sharks.

00:07:51 Why can't I have a normal dog?
