Well, we're hoping to launch, when I say we, NASA's hoping to launch a new mission to one of the moons of Saturn, hopefully in like 2028.
It'll take it something like, you know, six, seven years to get out to Saturn.
But there's that giant moon of Saturn, Titan, which has a thick atmosphere.
It's the only place where the air pressure, the air pressure is actually even a little bit greater than the room here.
And it's very cold.
You know, it's almost close to 300 degrees below zero.
But it's got this thick atmosphere and tons of organic molecules and evidence of liquid water below the surface.
It's one of the places that might be friendly for life.
And so they're designing.
Have you heard about this?
It's called Dragonfly.
It's an octocopter.
It's a big drone.
There you go.
Perfect.
And so Dragonfly is going to be this big opticopter that we're going to land on this moon Titan.
We've already landed on this moon once with the Cassini mission.
And it's got this really kick-ass chemical laboratory inside to look for the conditions for life, anything that we might be able to find.
And obviously sample more than one site.
It would actually fly around and go to different places.
