Here's an absolutely mind-blowing TED lecture presented by an exploration expert. Bill Stone, deep cave explorer, was commissioned by NASA to design a mission to Europa in search of extra-terrestrial life. He used his extensive experience exploring the unknown depths of our own planet to design a robot capable of autonomously exploring, documenting, and analyzing the unknown depths of the Europan oceans. But then he goes on to propose a truly radical idea. Bill Stone wants to build a fueling station in space! And not only that, but he claims that he can do it in the next 7 years using less than one trillion dollars!!!
This man is crazy, but might actually revolutionize space travel in the next 20 years.
