Author discusses Mars landing and inner workings of NASA in a fascinating interview that also looks at the agency’s exploration of Saturn’s moon, Europa, whose ocean, say, scientists, is habitable and similar to Earth’s.
And if you’ve ever wondered about the inner workings of NASA (who hasn’t!?), journalist and bestselling author David W. Brown talks about how NASA scientists worked for years to discover a large saltwater ocean beneath Europa’s icy surface. Europa is one of Jupiter’s four Moons.
“There is three times more water on Europa than on Earth, which makes scientists believe that complex life could very well exist there,” said Brown whose creative non-fiction book, “The Mission: A True Story,” was published in late Jan. 2021.
“Life could be anywhere, we just have to look for it,” said Brown who added that it is a long trip to Jupiter: 6 years!
And Mars? It’s much closer: around 7 months.
