One of my enduring fascinations has been that of the space program, from astronauts to the search for life beyond our worldly confines.


Recent developments and information from outer planet surveys has opened up the possibility that our greatest chances for the discovery of extra-terrestrial life may not lie in distant stars and systems, but be found within our ...own solar system.


The Moons of Jupiter, in particular Europa, show evidence of liquid water and possibly oceans residing beneath their frozen crusts. Seeded from complex molecules of the interstellar dusts, life could be found in our very own backyard! I am eager to see what future probes and travels bring back to Earth and reveal to our eager minds.

    A mission to Europa is a kind of pipe dream at the moment. Trying to get a robot out there to study what lies beneath the crust of Europa surely would be a very difficult undertaking even if the funding can be procured!
