Next Episode: #26 What's the matter? Really, what is the matter that makes up 80% of the mass of the universe but can't be observed directly. The strange story of dark matter

Join us for a discussion with David W. Brown about his new book The Mission, the true story of NASA's bold Europa Clipper mission and the search for signs of life on Jupiter's icy ocean moon Europa.
David tells us about the incredibly diverse team that put this project together, why Europa is the most likely place in the solar system to find signs of extraterrestrial life, and why we might just be living in the golden age of space exploration.
