NASA’s $3.5 Billion Idea To Save Earth From A Supervolcano Apocalypse



Yellowstone National Park sits atop a massive supervolcano that’s considered one of the greatest volcano threats in the county.  While experts estimate that a super-eruption might not happen for another few million years, NASA scientists performed a thought experiment to determine how we could prevent Yellowstone from ever erupting again. Their hypothetical idea involves cooling the volcano down by pumping cold water into a series of wells around its perimeter. If implemented, the scenario could potentially save Earth from a super-volcano apocalypse.

  1. This sim has been run before, and there is a warning dont mess with the volcano unless you perfectly understand how to dissarm it..last time was an acopolypse..

    $3.46 billion to remedy a supervolcano sounds pretty good to me 😆

    Boom💥Mother Earth😡 is mad And same way there is no hiding place from ARAVATfire bun🔥

    Cooling Yellowstone is only delaying the inevitable. Besides, we don't even have the technology yet. And even if we did, the pipes that connect the water would probably melt or the magma would push into the pipes. I'm not saying this to upset or to worry anyone. Just saying that if we screw with the volcano (ahem supervolcano) then it will screw us back. The only thing that could potentially tip things in our favor, is to build a giant ventilator (kind of like one of those air turbines that generate power) , but a lot thicker and bigger, and it would have twelve vents. The tower would have four thick supports attached to a heavy thick reinforced concrete base. At the top of the tower would be a huge rectangular room that would have four vents on each long side, one vent on each narrower side, and one at the top, and one at the bottom. Also on the bottom of the tower room would be two big solar lamps (which would allow to farm around the tower) . The power generator could be in the tower room, along with the controls. The tower room could have a small hydro electric power plant. Electric pumps would run water through tubes, which would spin a turbine, which would produce power for the tower. Why the vents? If the tower is tall enough and big enough, then it can move Ash out of the way, possibly opening a sky up a bit. (And yes, I know, that wouldn't work right after the eruption, but imagine if there was a way to clear the sky, and to farm after a while.
    But that is just speculation at this point.

    it costs 20% of nasa budget to keep everyone safe in country?What they're waiting for.

    I bet this was a study on how to make it erupt to effect climate change to cool the planet. They are going to blow us all up. They started with Covid to kill all the old and weak. This is next.

  7. Dodgy XD

    I remember learning that the less viscous the more explosive maybe that's another thing to think about

  8. Don Harrington

    Bunker buster bomb would trigger it or a nuclear substance crater. Any foreign government that had the intent to cripple and invade north America would use yellow stone volcano to put enough ash in the atmosphere to block radar for stealth enemy bomber's

  9. The blood was in Jesus
    Now Jesus has spread the blood
    In everyone
    The truth
    The honesty
    The test
    The challenge
    THE AWAKENING
    OF THE PLANET
    And the great meltdown

    THE GREAT CLEANSING OF THE PLANET
    AND THE WAKING OF THE DEAD
    Has begun
    Jan 2022
    The new beginning
    The planet was reset
    God is awakening the 60-70 percent
    Be ready
    For gods fire 🔥
    The one he puts inside us
    Just have faith in him
    Best thing you could do
    Have faith
    It will get worse before it gets better
    There will be many countries
    This year struggling
    Earthquakes
    Rains
    Tornados
    Tidal waives
    Flooding
    Intense heat
    You name it
    Goodbye to the planet
    We knew
    The truth is
    The angels are going to take it away
    To teach everyone
    I.know it will be very harsh
    But humanity 💔 went backwards
    With greed
    But hello to many new things
    When the light will shine through Afterwards
    New species
    New findings
    New technology
    Even water for people that never had water
    The angels will bring it all
    You guys it's time to pay the piper
    They may even crack the fault line
    Big trouble
    How do I know
    Because I’m very old
    ancient old
    see it all happen
    Afterwards
    I’m here to help you all
    Most of all
    I’m here to help Jesus
    I will be here until the end of the 7 year tribulation
    Until I have given all I got
    This is for real this time
    Get ready

    Fun fact: this plan will fail because if we drill into yellowstone it will make the chances higher than ever to explode

  11. Art Aizen

    reading the comment

    the thing we need is Steam sale and buy off all the steam so there's no pressure for the volcano to erupt

  12. First Amendment

    They're going to make more cartoons? More make believe, CGI "space?"

    Scientists could cause the end of the world maybe this is why the earth will rock to and fro like a hammock and fall never to rise again God will destroy those who destroyed the earth

    Someone please Read this.
    Ok so there is global warming, heating the planet, planet heats, causes volcano, volcano releases sulfic cloud to cool ozone. We need a scheduled controlled release not a higher temp point + water usage.

  16. ehh just put 999 layers of metal around it but the pressure might explode the earth ph whatever let’s just try it 😒
