Endless life, endless exploration

The rhythm of the film is rather lengthy, but the overall tone is still my favorite. Astronauts don't do things step by step like getting work done. They face huge unknowns and fragile life support. Maybe it is not a problem for people to live easily for 50 years on earth, that is because hundreds of millions of years of evolution have adapted us to the ecology of the surrounding environment, but in outer space, a little air leak can end your life. Since it is so difficult, what drives people to take such great risks to explore? It is the human spirit of curiosity.
In recent years, many people will say, is it really worth spending a lot of human and financial resources to explore outer space? Why not use this money to improve people's livelihood? What I want to say is that there is no conflict. The reason why we have the ability and financial resources to explore today shows that people's livelihood has reached a certain level. The remaining gap between the rich and the poor should be solved by using political wisdom. The pursuit of knowledge is to seek human development from a long-term perspective. The more you know, the better for human evolution. Maybe the knowledge learned won't have any effect in the short term, but don't forget how human beings stand out from so many creatures. When animals are still afraid of fire and thunder, human beings have learned to make fire, use fire and use electricity. And every time the impulse to understand the trend under curiosity, many compatriots pay the price in exchange for the progress of the "human" population.
If you have to define what evolution is, I would say that the more you know, the more you master, and the more you have the right to choose.

Going back to this film, the setting of the water body of the planet Europa is similar to the setting of the earth's ocean. Humans are terrestrial creatures, but we know very well that even without land, the earth is still a vibrant planet. There are things on land that are available in the ocean, so marine life is by no means inferior to land life. If one day it is discovered that intelligent life exists in the ocean, I will not be surprised at all. As far as life forms are currently known, it's not an exaggeration to say that sea creatures actually rule an entire planet. Therefore, human's fear of the ocean is the same as the fear of space, and there are still many unknowns waiting for human beings to explore.

    Taking advantage of the preconceived characteristics of pseudo-documentaries and playing a narrative trick is the biggest highlight.

    When I found out that I had been editing video material like this all the time, in a documentary style, the interest decreased. The final revelation is a little scary/beyond common sense.
