I strongly agree with allowing the terraforming of Mars via directed asteroid impacts. This innovative approach could be a pivotal step in making Mars more habitable and advancing our understanding of planetary science. While there are risks, the potential benefits for humanity and science are immense.

As an astrophysicist, I strongly support prioritizing the exploration of Europa's oceans. Europa holds one of the best prospects in our solar system for finding extraterrestrial life. Its subsurface ocean, protected by an icy crust, could harbor the conditions necessary for life. Investing in this mission could revolutionize our understanding of life's potential beyond Earth.

As an astrophysicist, I strongly believe that exploring Enceladus's oceans should be a top priority for government space programs. The moon's subsurface ocean has all the essential ingredients for life, making it one of the most promising places to search for extraterrestrial life within our solar system.
