Investing in space exploration is essential. It propels scientific understanding, technological growth, and can safeguard humanity by helping us find ways to survive beyond Earth.

Investing in a larger-scale CERN is essential for pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the universe. The advancements in technology and the potential discoveries in fundamental physics justify the expenses.

I strongly believe that government space programs should prioritize exploring Enceladus's oceans for signs of life. The possibility of discovering microbial or even more complex forms of extraterrestrial life in these hidden oceans could revolutionize our understanding of biology and our place in the universe. With Enceladus's geysers already hinting at a subsurface ocean filled with organic compounds, this moon is one of the best candidates for finding life beyond Earth.

As a theoretical physicist, I believe exploring Europa's oceans holds immense promise for discovering extraterrestrial life. The presence of a subsurface ocean beneath Europa's icy crust makes it one of the most compelling places in our solar system to search for signs of life. Prioritizing this mission could yield groundbreaking scientific insights and transform our understanding of life's possibilities beyond Earth.
