But before we get into the bulk of todays show, I want to send a congratulations from everyone here at the planetary society to all the people around the world that helped make Nasas Europa Clipper mission possible.
The spacecraft blasted off on its way to Jupiter in its moons earlier this week on Monday, October 14.
It was a beautiful launch and the culmination of decades of work.
Well share more about that next week, but in the meantime, take a moment in the coming days to go out there and look up at the skies and imagine Europa kleeper cruising on its way to Jupiter.
It's going to help us unlock the mysteries of Europa's subsurface ocean and its potential for life.
So this is a big moment in the history of space exploration.
Congratulations, everyone.
We finally have a dedicated mission to Europa on its way now.
