Outrider Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 We have another 10 years more or less before the actual unmanned probe (hopefully) reaches Jupiter's moon Europa. NASA/JPL have a mission team assembled and a penciled in launch date of 2020's. To help pass the time I highly recommend this movie. It is a faux documentry of a manned mission to Europa. It is on Netflix and DVD and maybe some other streaming channels I'm not sure. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_Report Europa Report is a 2013 science fiction film directed by Sebastián Cordero, and starring Christian Camargo, Anamaria Marinca, Michael Nyqvist, Daniel Wu, Karolina Wydra, and Sharlto Copley. A found footage film, it recounts the fictional story of the first crewed mission to Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. Despite a disastrous technical failure that loses all communications with Earth mission control[3] and a series of dangerous crises, the crew continue their mission to Europa and encounters a baffling mystery.

Daecon Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I see somebody ignored the Monolith's warning... or was it Dave's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider5678 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I see somebody ignored the Monolith's warning... or was it Dave's? What for warning? I missed it too. Also, good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 What for warning? I missed it too. Iirc, in the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, the monolith returns and warns us to leave Europa alone. There may have been an expiration date on how long, but I can't recall.

Outrider Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 No expiration date I think in books by Arthur C. Clarke there are creatures on the moon that eventually evolve sentience. The warning was "All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there. Use them together. Use them in peace." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
