Another Day Of Great Triump In Space Exploration

Madame President: Your Tuesday morning briefing: Yesterday, we had another big success in space exploration. One of our readers was part of a team at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory that made it happen. A Space X Falcon Super Heavy lifted off from Cape Kennedy. Its payload was the Europa Clipper space probe. Roughly six years from now, the gravity of the planet Jupiter will catch it. It will then travel to the Jovian moon Europa and go into orbit. A massive bank of instruments will struggle against Jupiter's huge blast of radiation. The goal is to peer beneath the oceans of the moon (The water volume of these oceans is greater than the volume of all the oceans on Earth.). NASA, many scientists, our reader, and I believe that under these oceans life exists. We will start to explore for life. No, we are not alone in the universe. A Chinese proverb that I love applies here: "May you live in interesting times." Be careful out there! Stay "Far from the madding crowd." Amo-a, -JackW
