What's on Europa? (Featuring Kevin DeBruin)

Of all the places that are candidates for extraterrestrial life that we are aware of, Europa is the best. This moon of Jupiter harbors a subsurface ocean that is likely full of minerals, and thus may contain life, perhaps even complex multicellular life! Plans are under way to send probes Europa Clipper and Europa Lander to go gather data and get a closer look, so we may have more information very soon! On the show to tell us all about these missions and what we might hope to learn from them is Kevin DeBruin, a former NASA rocket scientist who worked as systems engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab and that personally worked on these missions. What will we find on Europa? Let's talk about it!
