By 2020, China is on track to generate Germany's entire electricity consumption from just wind and
solar
power alone.
Well, let's take a look at some of the latest satellite images of China's
solar
power installations.
Take M-KOPA, the home
solar
solution that comes literally in a box that has a
solar
rooftop panel, three LED lights, a
solar
radio, and a cell phone charger.
Powering them is one of the greater engineering challenges that we had to deal with, because powering a cell phone under a tree canopy, any sort of
solar
power under a tree canopy, was an as-yet-unsolved problem, and that's this unique
solar
panel design that you see here, which in fact is built also from recycled byproducts of an industrial process.
Because the sunshine kid was bright, with a warm personality, And inside he burned savagely Hurt by the words and curses of the shadowy folk who spoke holes in his soul and left cavities, And as his heart hardened, his spark darkened, Every time they called him names it cooled his flames, He thought they might like him if he kept his light dim But they were busy telling lightning she had terrible aim, He couldn’t quite get to grips with what they said, So he let his light be eclipsed by what they said, He fell into a Lone Star State like Texas, And felt like he’d been punched in his
solar
plexus.
In order to do that, I need to explain to you something about the origin of the
solar
system.
Afterwards, the big planets like Jupiter and Saturn, they were not in their place where they are now, and they interacted gravitationally, and they swept the whole interior of the
solar
system clean, and what we now know as comets ended up in something called the Kuiper Belt, which is a belt of objects beyond the orbit of Neptune.
And sometimes these objects run into each other, and they gravitationally deflect, and then the gravity of Jupiter pulls them back into the
solar
system.
One is a dust tail, which is blown away by the
solar
wind.
The other one is an ion tail, which is charged particles, and they follow the magnetic field in the
solar
system.
Comets contain the original material from which our
solar
system was formed, so they're ideal to study the components that were present at the time when Earth, and life, started.
From the results of that mission, it became immediately clear that comets were ideal bodies to study to understand our
solar
system.
This comet had to be specially selected because A, you have to be able to get to it, and B, it shouldn't have been in the
solar
system too long.
This particular comet has been in the
solar
system since 1959.
And, of course, it's the first satellite to go beyond the orbit of Jupiter on
solar
cells.
But these
solar
arrays are big.
That's one of the cameras on the lander, and it just looks under the
solar
arrays, and you see the planet Mars and the
solar
array in the distance.
What this tells you is this is the concentration of these two materials at the time the
solar
system was formed, so we learned things about which materials were there when the planet was made.
and they can tell us more about not only life in our
solar
system but also maybe beyond, and this is why I am tracking them down in the most impossible places on Earth, in extreme environments where conditions are really pushing them to the brink of survival.
But here's the thing: We are the only advanced civilization in the
solar
system, but that doesn't mean that there is no microbial life nearby.
And if we were going to find life on those moons and planets, then we would answer questions such as, are we alone in the
solar
system?
Is there life beyond our
solar
system?
And if you have been looking at the headlines lately, then you will see that we have discovered a subsurface ocean on Europa, on Ganymede, on Enceladus, on Titan, and now we are finding a geyser and hot springs on Enceladus, Our
solar
system is turning into a giant spa.
Well clearly at the beginning of the
solar
system, Mars and the Earth were bombarded by giant asteroids and comets, and there were ejecta from these impacts all over the place.
The atmosphere was stripped away by
solar
winds, Mars lost its magnetosphere, and then cosmic rays and U.V. bombarded the surface and water escaped to space and went underground.
So by now, I think I have convinced you that Mars is very special to us, but it would be a mistake to think that Mars is the only place in the
solar
system that is interesting to find potential microbial life.
But in the end, it might be just us, it might be us and Mars, or it can be many trees of life in the
solar
system.
I don't know the answer yet, but I can tell you something: No matter what the result is, no matter what that magic number is, it is going to give us a standard by which we are going to be able to measure the life potential, abundance and diversity beyond our own
solar
system.
Look at the
solar
system, and look at the Earth.
Right here in the journey of our own
solar
system, there is a very, very powerful message that says here's how we should look for alien life, small and big.
