I believe government space programs should prioritize exploring Europa's oceans for signs of life. Europa is one of the most promising places in our solar system where life might exist beyond Earth. Its subsurface ocean could harbor the necessary conditions for life as we know it. Discovering life on Europa would be one of the most profound scientific breakthroughs in human history and could answer fundamental questions about our place in the universe.

As an astronaut, I've seen firsthand the vastness of space and the potential it holds. Enceladus, with its subsurface oceans, presents one of the best opportunities in our solar system to potentially discover microbial life. Prioritizing its exploration could yield groundbreaking discoveries about life's existence beyond Earth.
