    Embark on a journey through more than two decades of space exploration with leading NASA Engineer Kobie Boykins. After working on all of the Mars Rover programs, Kobie has set his sights on more distant frontiers with his most ambitious mission to date – a circumnavigation of Europa, Jupiter’s icy moon. As Chief Engineer of this project, Kobie has been leading a team of thousands to build and deploy a spacecraft that will take eight years just to reach its target, before it slingshots around Jupiter and gets into a two-year orbit of Europa. The goal? To find out if there is water under the icy crust. Where there’s water, there’s life. The mission is set to launch in October 2024.
