#astrum #exploration #space

NASA. The name is synonymous with rockets, rovers on Mars, and telescopes that peer back to the dawn of time. So why are they spending millions to build and send robotic probes to the deepest, darkest, and most hostile environment on our own planet?

This is the story of a stunning new frontier, where space exploration and deep-ocean exploration have become one and the same. A journey seven miles down into the crushing pressure and absolute darkness of the ocean's Hadal Zone. Join us as we discover "Why Are NASA Probes Going to the Hadal Zone?"

Discover how the extreme environment of places like the Mariana Trench serves as the perfect training ground for the autonomous robotic technology needed for future missions to the hidden, subsurface oceans of Jupiter's moon, Europa, and Saturn's moon, Enceladus. We will explore how searching for strange life forms that thrive around volcanic vents in the crushing darkness of our own planet is teaching us how and where to search for extraterrestrial life in the oceans of other worlds.

This is not a distraction from the search for aliens; it is the most critical step. The path to the stars begins at the bottom of our own sea.
