It's Thursday, June 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Iranian Christians vulnerable to arrest, falsely accused of espionage Christians in Israel and Iran are experiencing fear and uncertainty during recent conflict between the two countries. Christians already face arrest in Iran for simply leading a house church. An Iranian believer told International Christian Concern, “The Iranian government is now arresting anyone caught taking or sharing photos and videos with news outlets. Christians are especially vulnerable, as they risk being accused of espionage and deemed a threat to national security. If their faith is discovered, the consequences are far worse.” Iran is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” ICE arrested 11 Iranian nationals, one served as Iranian army sniper U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 11 Iranian nationals over the weekend. The individuals entered the U.S. illegally, and one of them reportedly served as an Iranian Army sniper.  Officials are on high alert for extremist attacks after the U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday. Iran has threatened to carry out retaliatory terrorist attacks using sleeper cells in America.  Trump thrilled that NATO paying their fair share The NATO military alliance of western nations held its 2025 summit in the Netherlands this week. NATO countries agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of annual gross domestic product over the next 10 years. That's up from the current target of 2%. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump has called on European countries to contribute more to the defense budget of the alliance. Listen to comments from Trump. TRUMP: “This is a monumental win for the United States, because we were carrying much more than our fair share. It was quite unfair, actually. But this is a big win for Europe and for actually, Western civilization.” Muslim socialist beat Andrew Cuomo in NYC Dem primary for mayor A Muslim socialist won the Democrat primary for New York City mayor on Tuesday. Remarkably, Zohran Mamdani, age 33, defeated former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo in the race. (Watch his election night victory speech) MAMDANI: “Tonight, we made history. (cheering) In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it is done.' (cheering)  My friends, we have done it. (cheering) I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.” (cheering)   Mamdani has served as a New York state lawmaker. He campaigned on making the Big Apple more affordable, calling for free public transit, rent freezes, and universal childcare. If elected, he would be the city's first Muslim mayor.  President Trump sounded off on Truth Social. He wrote, “Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. … He's got [U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]. … and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, ,,, groveling over him.” Two-thirds of churchgoers attend weekly The Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations project released a new report on U.S. churchgoers this month. The survey found two-thirds of respondents attend services weekly. And over 80% report stable or increased attendance compared to five years ago.  The survey noted a positive outlook: “Many more respondents said their religious faith and spirituality had strengthened since the pandemic. Likewise, financial giving has increased, as has involvement and volunteering.” In terms of newcomers, 38% of churchgoers began attending their church since the COVID-19 pandemic. Of these new attenders, nearly a third never attended church before or are returning to church after years of not participating.  Astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary head to Int'l Space Station Astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary blasted off for the International Space Station yesterday. It's the first time astronauts from those countries have gone to space in over 40 years. Axiom Space arranged the flight which launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  The mission is part of NASA's effort to open space to private companies. Axiom is among several American space companies hoping to put their own space stations into orbit. The Polish astronaut on the mission said space “is not only for the biggest agencies anymore—space is for everyone.” Psalm 8:3-4 reminds us, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” 8 Worldview listeners gave $3,375  to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview annual budget for our 6-member team, 8 listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25, James in Lebanon, Oregon who gave $50 as well as Stephen in Adrian, Oregon and Mark in Grand Forks, North Dakota–both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Richard in Camden Wyoming, Delaware who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Keith and Nicole in Aiken, South Carolina who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And we were touched by the generosity of Doreen in Caldwell, Idaho who gave $1,000, Shane in Columbia City, Indiana who $1,200, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who, as promised, matched twelve $1,000 donors with his matching gift of $12,000 which has already been incorporated into our previous total. Those 8 Worldview listeners gave a total of $3,375.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (Drum roll sound effect) $70,908.55 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   That means by this coming Monday, June 30th, we need to raise $52,591.45 in just 5 days. That's $10,518.29 per day! We are looking for 9 super donors. Could you give $10,000? Or perhaps you feel the Lord prompting you to become one of 3 businesspeople who could give $5,000? Or one of 5 businesspeople who could contribute $2,500? If so, those donations would total $37,500. Then, we would need another 6 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200.

No ano em que a Agência Espacial Europeia assinala os 50 anos de existência, o Governo dos Açores tem destacado o posicionamento geoestratégico do arquipélago. A ilha de Santa Maria desempenha um papel estratégico na actividade espacial a nível internacional. Em 2024, recebeu a sede da Agência Espacial Portuguesa e, em 2027, o Space Raider, o primeiro veículo espacial europeu, vai aterrar no porto espacial da ilha. Paulo Quental, coordenador da Estrutura de Missão dos Açores para o espaço, defende que o arquipélago tem a capacidade para responder aos desafios de Portugal e da União Europeia no sector da indústria espacial. Qual é a importância do sector espacial para o arquipélago dos Açores?Representa, acima de tudo, uma oportunidade de desenvolver um novo sector de economia aqui na região. É um sector que, neste momento, pode responder a alguns desafios que a Europa apresenta e para o qual Portugal, através dos Açores, também pode contribuir.Que desafios são esses?Nomeadamente, naquelas que são as questões de soberania, segurança, autonomia, resiliência no acesso ao espaço, na gestão e operação de activos espaciais. São sectores que, nos últimos anos, a Europa — apesar de continuar a ser um player relevante — tem perdido algum espaço para outras localizações do globo. A Região Autónoma dos Açores pretende alavancar o potencial que tem instalado para poder fornecer esses novos serviços à Europa, com grande foco, obviamente, naquilo que é o acesso e retorno do espaço, mas também no segmento terrestre. Como tiveram oportunidade de ver aqui na ilha de Santa Maria.O Governo fala muito na “centralidade atlântica dos Açores”. O que representa esta centralidade para o arquipélago?Os Açores, como outras regiões europeias, são considerados uma região ultraperiférica. No entanto, a Europa é eminentemente um continente virado para o Atlântico. E os Açores são periféricos naquelas que são a maioria das suas actividades, e a sua localização efectiva pode tornar-se central quando se olha para o Atlântico como uma oportunidade. Seja naquela que é, novamente, uma afirmação de soberania, seja em novas oportunidades de negócio no desenvolvimento de novas economias, seja na própria economia azul, como também na economia global, e pela posição que se ocupa aqui, a meio caminho entre a América do Norte e a Europa.A ilha de Santa Maria tem ambição de ser um “Hub espacial”. No entanto, a aprovação da legislação tem sido descrita como um processo “moroso”. Esta legislação não acaba por ser uma dificuldade para as empresas que querem operar no sector espacial?Em 2019, Portugal aprovou uma legislação do espaço, enquanto país, e isto foi durante o decurso do anterior procedimento para um porto espacial aqui na ilha de Santa Maria. Com as lições aprendidas no decorrer desse processo e com as lacunas detectadas na primeira versão da legislação nacional, em 2023, e com entrada em vigor em 2024, foi feita uma revisão da legislação nacional, em que — não relaxando nas considerações de segurança das populações e do meio ambiente, bem como na sustentabilidade — criou-se um regime legal para o licenciamento de actividades espaciais que se torna atrativo, tentando fomentar a inovação e a competitividade nas actividades espaciais. Isto vê-se, por exemplo, com o abandono do modelo de concessão para um porto espacial (licença mais tradicional), mas também nos prazos de resposta ambiciosos que a legislação nacional pretende dar aos pedidos de licenciamento apresentados pelos operadores.Porque é que a ilha de Santa Maria foi uma escolha evidente para o Governo dos Açores?A escolha dos locais mais apropriados para este tipo de actividades espaciais é feita, acima de tudo, pelos operadores e pelos desenvolvedores das tecnologias. Santa Maria foi identificada como sendo um dos locais com melhor potencial da Europa para se alcançar órbitas polares, onde normalmente orbitam os satélites de observação da Terra.Santa Maria, em relação às outras ilhas dos Açores, tem também a sinergia de infra-estruturas, seja a capacidade do aeroporto -que tem uma das pistas mais longas do país- seja também através das próprias acessibilidades marítimas, permitindo o desenvolvimento dessas actividades. Há ainda a questão da estabilidade geológica, uma vez que é a ilha com menos impacto de abalos sísmicos permanentes, aqui na região, devido à confluência de três placas tectónicas, e também por questões climatéricas.Além disso tudo, acrescenta-se ainda a questão da densidade populacional, que é relativamente baixa. Observando todos estes pontos, Santa Maria acaba por se mostrar a ilha com maior potencial, não obstante as outras actividades que podem também vir a ser desenvolvidas noutras ilhas. Todavia, Santa Maria já tem alguma especialização na área, como por exemplo o Teleporto, que existe já há quase 20 anos.Há mão-de-obra qualificada para responder a todos estes desafios que vão nascer em Santa Maria?Actualmente, esta mão-de-obra qualificada não está toda disponível na região, mas Portugal tem vindo a formar e aumentar consideravelmente o número de vagas em cursos focados na área do espaço, nomeadamente engenharia aeroespacial, com cursos em três novas universidades. Não podemos olhar para a existência de pessoas formadas ou de quadros no sector espacial apenas a nível local, mas também alargar a abrangência a nível nacional e internacional, porque o mercado espacial, como qualquer mercado tecnológico hoje em dia, está altamente globalizado.No entanto, as principais infra-estruturas de espaço que operam em Santa Maria recorrem, muitas vezes, a locais, mas a chegada de novas empresas representa uma oportunidade para atrair novas pessoas, novos conhecimentos, que se venham formar aqui nos Açores, podendo também fazer o seu crescimento pessoal e social aqui na região.Os Açores são conhecidos como um exemplo na biodiversidade. A indústria espacial pode ameaçar esta imagem?Considero que a indústria espacial tem ajudado e beneficiado a biodiversidade. Podemos olhar para isto em toda a cadeia de valor da indústria espacial, seja na parte dos lançamentos ou dos portos espaciais, e temos dois casos de sustentabilidade ambiental promovidos directamente pela indústria espacial. Um é o Kennedy Space Center, na Flórida, em que o exemplo dos corcodilos que estavam em vias de extinção, a espécie foi recuperada após a criação da área protegida para o Kennedy Space Center. Outro exemplo paradigmático é Tanegashima, no Japão, onde a ilha que alberga o centro espacial japonês é também um santuário de biodiversidade e para o qual o sector espacial ajudou a criar condições de protecção. Mas isto não se resume apenas à parte terrestre; os dados espaciais também nos permitem realizar uma monitorização muito mais próxima da gestão dos recursos e da sustentabilidade. Seja através da observação da Terra no planeta como um todo, mas também na fauna e flora terrestre, assim como marítima, em que se tem tirado partido das tecnologias espaciais para o seguimento de cardumes ou de cetáceos, utilizando a nossa tecnologia espacial, juntamente com tecnologias terrestres, para validar esses dados e medir efectivamente os efeitos que as políticas têm na preservação ambiental e sustentável.Em 2027, o Space Raider, o primeiro veículo espacial europeu, vai aterrar no porto espacial da ilha de Santa Maria. Onde é que o Governo dos Açores se imagina daqui a 20 anos em termos de política espacial?O objectivo é tornar Santa Maria num “Hub para o espaço”. E aqui o posicionamento do Governo Regional é criar condições para que as empresas e outros stakeholders do sector -que queiram desenvolver as suas actividades nos Açores- tenham condições de se fixar na região, oferecendo atractividade. A perspectiva do Governo Regional não é só a colocação de um porto espacial. Um porto espacial é o ponto de retorno do espaço, e serve, acima de tudo, como catalisador de uma economia espacial. Se nós olharmos para a distribuição nas diferentes rubricas da economia espacial a nível mundial, o acesso e o retorno do espaço têm um peso muito pequeno, 1%, 2% ou 3%. A grande mais-valia está nos negócios das comunicações, dos serviços de localização e de observação da Terra. Este é um caminho que se pretende percorrer e que demora algum tempo, mas é um caminho que tem que ser feito.Tirar partido da capacidade do porto espacial para desenvolver também uma economia espacial à volta. E isto não é só na oferta de produtos, mas também fomentando junto da sociedade e da própria administração pública a utilização de tecnologia espacial ou de informações provenientes do espaço para aumentar a eficiência de outros processos do dia a dia, seja na agricultura, nas pescas, no turismo. Por isso é que é uma estratégia que engloba os diferentes sectores da actividade. Hoje em dia, organicamente o espaço tem entrado nas nossas vidas, não só pela localização, mas também quando queremos confirmar alguma informação geográfica sobre um sítio, acedemos a imagens de satélite que estão amplamente difundidas. Então, existe sempre uma janela de oportunidade para consolidar este ecossistema nas suas diferentes cadeias de valor.

The Headlines: People Keep Mistaking Nail Glue for Eye Drops – Read more SpaceX Mission To Bring Starliner Astronauts Home Postponed Due To Hydraulic Issue – Read more People Keep Mistaking Nail Glue for Eye Drops Double-check that label before using eye drops! A TikToker named BreezyBre is in the news after she accidentally grabbed a tiny bottle of fingernail glue instead of eye drops — and ended up gluing her eyes shut. BreezyBre posted a video from the emergency room after the mishap, saying she was in "so much pain." A brand called Kiss sells fingernail glue in bottles that look almost identical to eye drops, which is causing the mix-up. Doctors say this is becoming a more common problem as more people unknowingly mistake the similar packaging. BreezyBre’s situation required immediate medical attention to carefully remove the glue from her eye area without causing permanent damage. Thankfully, she’s okay now — but maybe store your nail glue and eye drops in different places from now on!

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtogreatness/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/    

For review:1. Iran Supreme Leader Not Interested in Talks with "Bullying" Countries.

Israel on Sunday prepared to send a delegation to Doha for further talks on the Gaza truce.3. Israel's Energy Minister on Sunday instructed the Israel Electric Corporation to immediately cut off the supply of electricity to the Gaza Strip, in an apparent bid to pile pressure on Hamas, where 24 hostages presumed to be alive, and the bodies of 35 more, are still held.4. Russian Forces Advance in Kursk Region. Russian forces on Sunday recaptured three more settlements in Russia's western Kursk region, the Defence Ministry said (Russian), as part of an operation to evict Ukrainian troops holding chunks of territory seven months after a cross-border incursion.5. Norway will more than double its aid to Ukraine in 2025 to bring the annual total to $7.8 billion, Prime Minister Jonas Store announced Thursday.6. France on Friday began handing over military bases in Senegal, as part of a withdrawal of troops from the west African nation where it has had a presence since 1960.

In this episode of ALL IN, I dive into a question I get asked all the time – what's the best age to give your kids a phone? I share my unconventional approach of giving all my kids their first iPhone at age 7 and the reasoning behind this decision. Initially, it was about safety and communication when they traveled alone to meet me on business trips, creating special one-on-one moments like visiting the Kennedy Space Center with my son or taking my daughter to see the dolphins at Clearwater Marine Aquarium. But the unexpected benefit has been the incredible memories captured from their perspective – videos and photos I never would have seen otherwise, giving me insight into their world. I address the judgment I've received from other parents and explain my philosophy of exposing kids to technology early in a controlled environment while maintaining important boundaries (like no devices at the dinner table and open-door policies for video calls with the opposite sex). Ultimately, this approach has helped my kids develop a healthy, mature relationship with technology that many adults still struggle with today.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

Herb Baker, NASA veteran and author of From Apollo to Artemis: Stories From My 50 Years With NASA, takes us back to a time where growing up near NASA meant working near the “Manned Spacecraft Center,”  and running films to the TV station for Apollo missions.  Herb took what started as a “fun job” into an unforgettable 42-year career working on the Shuttle, Space Station, and Orion programs. Herb grew up surrounded by astronauts' families, watched history happen right in his backyard, and even got to see his mom play a key role in saving Skylab—a story that will absolutely make you smile. Herb's adventures working for NASA are pretty incredible—like riding in a helicopter flown by a Vietnam vet to deliver news footage, running around Mission Control like he owned the place, and learning that astronauts' biggest fear isn't danger... it's letting their teammates down. You'll hear just how much NASA's mission and people have meant to him. Herb's stories bring NASA's history to life in a way that feels personal, real, and so inspiring. If you've ever looked up at the stars and dreamed big, this one's for you.     Guest Bio: Herb Baker retired from NASA in 2017 after 42 years of service. He spent most of his career at the Johnson Space Center (JSC), supporting the Space Shuttle, Space Station, and Orion Programs. Herb also worked at the Kennedy Space Center and NASA Headquarters. His final position was Manager of the Operations Support Office at JSC, where he oversaw support for Mission Control, astronaut operations, and NASA's aircraft operations. Today, Herb serves as an Officer on the Board of Directors for the NASA Alumni League-JSC and dedicates his time to promoting STEM education through organizations like the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and Space Center Houston. He is a frequent speaker on human spaceflight and the author of From Apollo to Artemis: Stories From My 50 Years With NASA.     Connect with Herb: Want a signed copy of From Apollo to Artemis?

Welcome to today's enlightening episode of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. Join host Andrea Samadhi as she explores the insights of Dr. Laura Gallaher, an organizational psychologist and executive coach. Dr. Gallaher shares her earlier days at NASA, revealing how she tackled the challenges following the Columbia shuttle disaster to reshape organizational culture and highlight the importance of psychological safety. Through an engaging conversation, Dr. Gallaher discusses her personal journey towards radical self-acceptance and how it transforms career and personal relationships. Learn how leaders can foster vulnerability and courage to build more productive, aligned, and self-aware teams, and discover the contagious nature of authentic connections based on self-awareness and acceptance. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that blends neuroscience, psychology, and real-life experiences to encourage growth both at work and home. Watch our interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/b0Pc6bKKWwM On today's EPISODE #349 “Unlocking Radical Self-Acceptance with Dr. Laura Gallaher” we will cover: ✔  Where Dr. Gallaher's career began, leading her to work with NASA. ✔ How can radical self-acceptance transform our career, and personal lives. ✔ Uncover where YOU are on the self-acceptance quadrant, so you can blend science and psychology to take your results to new heights. On today's episode #349, we meet with Dr. Laura Gallaher, an Organizational Psychologist, Speaker, Facilitator, and Executive Coach. She is the founder and CEO of Gallaher Edge[i], which she started in 2013 where she works with busy executives to help you get your arms around the challenges in your organization. They work with you from the inside out, helping your executive team have conversations you didn't even know you needed to have. They help to increase self-awareness, team alignment, and shared accountability until your organization runs like a well-oiled machine. Organizations (she asserts) are just people. Her noteworthy career began after the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded upon re-entry in 2003. Following the tragedy, NASA hired Laura and a team of organizational psychologists to change the cultural influences that were deemed to play a role in the accident. She worked for 8 years to positively influence culture, develop leadership capacity, and improve organizational performance at Kennedy Space Center. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and a Masters and PhD in Organizational Psychology. Laura is a Licensed Human Element® Practitioner, a Certified Radical Collaboration Trainer, and a Certified Coach. Let's meet Dr. Laura Gallaher, and learn together where we could possibly take our personal and work environments to new heights. Welcome Dr. Gallaher. Thank you for joining me today. Are you in Orlando now? I know that you have deep roots in the Phoenix area (and lots of places around the world).  INTRO Q: Dr. Gallaher, before asking you questions about your book, and your work, I have to say that there was something that drew me to you, before even looking at your bio. When you first meet someone, I think that what goes on inside us, (our mindset) shows on the outside, and I felt like you had a story to tell of where you began. When did you first learn about the importance of radical self acceptance, and how do you think that we can all use this skill in our personal and professional life? Q1: While coming up for some questions for you, I watched your TED TALK “How to Feel at Home Anywhere”[ii] where you talk about the ability to discover your inner confidence, and your ability to cope with the world (so that literally any place in the world) can feel like home. What drew you to create this TED TALK? Q2: It's interesting to me that your topic was “How to Feel at Home Anywhere” because I've thought about this concept often. While I've not worked and travelled to the places and countries that you have (other than via Google Maps) I have noticed that I've always been comfortable walking into a gym. Now I stopped going to a gym around the time of the pandemic, but I can recall always feeling a sense of belonging, and just the place that would fill me up with those feel-good vibes, when I was on the road, and would walk into a gym. Can you share what's important for us, as human beings, or the recipe that you've discovered, to feel comfortable…and make ANY place feel like home? Q3: Can we go to the questions that I think can open the door and help all of us, whether we are an employee in a company, a part of a bigger whole, or a teacher in a school, or a member of a team, how can we take this concept of radical self-acceptance to take us to new heights? Q4: We've been focused on taking our results to higher levels on this podcast. How important is what we think on the inside (our mindset with radical self-acceptance) to our results (on the outside)? Q5: Why are you so passionate about radical self-acceptance? How did NASA help you to uncover the gaps of where you were (actually) and where you wanted to go? Q6: What is psychological safety and how does it relate to how safe people feel to be vulnerable? Q7: Have you ever had a 360 Evaluation at work? How about asking your children how you are showing up as a parent? What can you learn from honest feedback from others? Q8: Dr. Gallaher helps Andrea to dig deeper into feedback that her children gave her. “What bugs me about you, is really about me.”[iii] Q9: How can we take radical self-acceptance into the workplace? Q10: Would you say the most critical leadership traits today would be vulnerability and courage? Q11: What are some stress reduction secrets you can share with us? Q12: How do we put this all together to become more self-aware? Dr. Gallaher, I want to thank you for your time meeting with me today. For people who would like to connect with you, I will put your contact information in the show notes. Do you have any final or closing thoughts? Take the Self-Acceptance Quiz Here  https://www.gallaheredge.com/sa-quiz-lp Andrea received the Pushing but Pressured quadrant that shows high on self-improvement, (which she would agree with) but low on self-acceptance (where she is right now) and she would agree this area could use some work.   Take the Self-Acceptance Quiz to see what quadrant you end up in, and see what you can learn about yourself.

Europa Clipper is NASA's first mission dedicated to studying an icy ocean world. Launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on October 14, 2024, from Kennedy Space Center, the spacecraft is set to arrive at Jupiter in April of 2030 to conduct sweeping flybys of Europa. Europa is one of Jupiter's four large Galilean moons. It's roughly the size of our own moon, but what's most is intriguing is that it may harbor the conditions for life in the massive ocean beneath its frozen surface. What we learn could open up the science floodgates to other ocean worlds across the solar system.

In this episode Christina Morales and Jessica Hicks discuss everything you need to know ahead of visiting Kennedy Space Center. To get in touch with the following Tavel Agents please email them at: Jessica: Jessica.hicks@marvelousmousetravels.com Christina: Christina.morales@marvelousmoustravels.com
