One of Jupiter's four largest moon called Europa, discovered by the Galileo spacecraft created from NASA, believed to contain water essential towards human life. The more reasons on why humans all over Earth should consider space exploration as one of the top priority, because Earth's resources would slowly be depleted as time goes on.

Other than robots, the Clipper has space instruments that it will use as it takes multiple flybys of
