Will Jupiter`s Moons Save Us from Extinction?

Welcome to the home of Jupiter and its many moons! Here, you will learn about the different origin theories and the role of gravity in how these moons were formed. You will also discover the many groups of moons that Jupiter has, from the regular satellites in prograde motion to the retrograde motion of the irregular moons. We will explore the birth of the Galilean moons, the chaotic creation of the binary asteroid system, and the mechanism for how Uranus and Neptune’s instability could have caused some of Jupiter’s irregular moons. Get ready to journey through the depths of space and explore the fascinating world of the Jovian system!
Bringing together Jupiter and the objects in its sphere of influence, the Jovian system is a major component of the outer solar system. It first includes the large number of Moons that Jupiter is hosting and in particular the four Galilean satellites -  Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto -  which, observed for the first time in 1610 by Galileo using his telescope.

The moons are very interesting and appear to contain all sorts of minerals, and more importantly water.

Waited patiently for the part that Jupiter’s radiation kills us

[frankfowlkes]

Radiation from Jupiter is the issue with the 3 inner moons. While Ganyemede would be survivable for a week or so only Callisto is safe for the long term. If we are here in 1 billion years maybe we will have other options too.

[GadreelAdvocat]

Only one moon might be habitable, Callisto. Solar powered craft can be designed to send or divert more regolith from other smaller moons to Callisto to give it more mass. More mass gives it the ability to hold an atmosphere in turn have the ability to hold more heat, protect from radiation and so on. The other moons are way more difficult to be habitable as they are within Jupiter's magnetic field. Creating a whole host of other massive problems.

[sziklamester]

Temporally the moons can be terraformed and made up for colony but in the long term we need to find a star system with similar size and habitable planets. If we are that developed then we can create our star system too. This is about technology and volumes. Currently our short term goals to terraform and colonize Mars, Venus and maybe make attempts to terraform and colonize most moons in the solar system. Another option what I see in a 1000-2000 year timelapse is to make starbases around planets and moons or in deep space in the system to host few thousands and few ten thousand of habitants. All of these seem possible but the current tech levels are not enough to make these things but by time and development every technology become used and cheaper. I understand if people sceptical because most people just look at the short term goals and options but not seeing the whole picture. Our life time is short if we could expand our lifespan like 500-1000 year then you can tell in your time you saw the colonization and beginning of terraforming. Until that I think there is only just speculation what we could do or not.

Jupiter's moons will save us if they're nice enough

[DominicRyanOsborne]

How about asking if Earth was once a moon of Jupiter along with many others that were knocked out of their orbit towards the sun or into Jupiter.

[jimparsons]

Heinlein's novel, 'Farmer in the Sky.' Read it when I was about 10 or so.

[ebonaparte]

We don’t have to wait a billion years. We can go by the end of the century.

[urbannerdcompany]

Yarp, when the sun goes postal and gobbles up all the terriestial planets, winter will finally end on these 4 moons. It'll be dope to see how that plays out. 🌝

[jssomewhere]

I see at least one of the moons of Jupiter being a fueling station or having a huge laser built on it a send off station to the outer solar system. Many of the moons in the system may end up with that designation. For many different reasons it's easier to use the moons than try and make it in one shot to beyond Neptune.

[MightyCats]

Humans should create a colony on our own moon first. Only 2 days travel time from earth and easier to resupply food, materials etc. If humans havent stepped on Mars we are double time to Mars to setting food on a Jupiter moon.

[SDM]

How can atmosphere form on Jupiter's moons without magnetic field? secondly what about almost no gravity on these moons? Human body will not survive without gravity even if we live in greenhouses.

[davidwhitney]

How 🤔 about saving good old Mother Earth- before it's too late- to avoid extinction? Jupiter's moons are fascinating (as an amateur astronomer I've seen them myself) but they won't save us...

We haven’t even been past our own moon. We shouldn’t get comfortable about our planets ending, thinking we can just go somewhere else. There’s a chance we never will.

[kaisertrinityt.m.i.s]

question from my side, would it be easier to terraform mars if one of jupiters four large moons would be a new moon for mars? sure it would take an immense amount of knowledge and power to take it into an safe orbit around mars. my idea is based on how the moon helps the earth and if the compared larger mass of one of jupiters moon would have an affect on the core of mars and maybe make it rotating again. otherwise we could make them collide so mars would have more mass, but i guess it would be to dangerous for us. otherwise, if we have the ability to move moons and planets we could place venus further away from the sun and mars closer.
or lets be totaly crazy, placing venus in a safe orbit behind earth and making mars instead a new moon for venus. but that is sci-fi for a long away future

[BABY_CORN]

If we did do this we would have to send people to all 4 if we want to keep a good population

[honodle]

'Io' is actually pronounced 'eeee- oh'; something that is disregarded in our day.
