VOYAGE TO EUROPA

About the Book

This book developed from the search for life outside of our planet. At this time, the most likely place we can think of for external life, because of all of its water, is Europa, a moon of the planet Jupiter. We are contemplating a manned voyage to Europa to explore it. But how do we get to Europa? This book is about transporting humans to Europa, selecting the passengers for the trip, building the spaceship that will take us there, likely dangers in route, etc. It’s about the first manned-space flight to Europa.
