Why? Because it has a global ocean—a deep, salty ocean similar to those on Earth, except that in Europa’s case it is […] Image Credit: XCOR MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif (April 2, 2013) — Are you a hardware hacker? Do you have the right stuff to become a citizen scientist or citizen astronaut? Here’s your chance to find out. […] |
