You don't have a supervillain ambition, Tracy, to leave some of your skin cells on it so you could give rise, you could be the progenitor of life on another world.

Hilarious.

No, no.

That's not my thing.

The Voyager missions were sent out with all these lovely things inscribed on the spacecraft.

If it happened to be found thousands, millions of years, however many billions of years later by some extraterrestrial civilisation, is there anything inscribed on the Europa Clipper?

Do you have the best job in the world, Tracy Drain?

Do you feel like you have the best job in the world?

I think it may be about every once in a year, every couple of years or so, the thought pops into my mind of the Voyager probe, which has now left the gravitational effects of the sun, hasn't it?

It's gone beyond that into... Into interstellar space.

Interstellar space.

And something about... It's silly, but part of me feels...

I don't know, feels for its loneliness or something like that.

It's a servant that's completed its mission for us and will now leave this planet, will never return.

But I just wonder if you have like, do you lie in bed at night sometimes and think about your baby, the Europa Clipper, going out into space never to return?

It's been wonderful speaking with you, Tracy.

And thank you so much.

Live long and prosper.

Tracy Drain, thank you so much.

Thank you.
