Jill Tarter

I strongly believe that exploring Europa's oceans for signs of life should be a top priority for government space programs. Europa's subsurface ocean is one of the most promising places in our solar system to find extraterrestrial life. Delving into its depths could revolutionize our understanding of life's potential beyond Earth.

As an astronomer focused on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, my primary concern is understanding the cosmos and identifying intelligent life. The ethical and environmental considerations of terraforming Mars are complex, and we need more scientific research before making such a monumental decision.
