Offworld Episode 5: Europa Report (2013)

We’re joined by spacecraft engineer Bobak Ferdowsi and marine scientist Vicky Vásquez to talk about the 2013 film Europa Report! There’s a lot to like about the film, including how it portrays the challenges of a crewed mission to Jupiter’s moon. Is Europa our best bet for finding alien life in our solar system? Let’s discuss!

  1. Another great interview Ariel. Loving this new Tested series. It’s interesting to see from the comments, on YouTube and the other videos, how all the films talked about so far have such varied views and opinions and how they’re not all for everyone. But they are generating some great conversations. I think sometimes it can be frustrating knowing too much about a subject, skill or profession, what ever that may be for each of us, that it can impair our enjoyment of films and such, like knowing how a magic trick is done. But this series is a great way to explore that mindset and evoke how, in this case, these films affect and ingrain themselves upon us. And it’s great to have these experts on the show to bring their unique perspective and alternative ideas on how they would have like to have seen certain scenes portrayed. Keep up the great work all involved.

  2. Saw your comment on YouTube, but I’m just chiming in here to say thanks again! And thanks for your encouragement 🙂

  3. Yep, great show, love to hear all the scientists coming along. And well.. with Bobak you simply always hit a homerun. 🙂
