Exploring Space - for iPod/iPhone

Will humans ever live on the Moon? Are robots better explorers than people? Species that are confined to a single planet are ultimately doomed so independent of scientific interest there are more pressing reasons for humanity to explore other celestial bodies as it could be integral for our survival. Learning how to exploit and utilise and harvest the natural resources on other planets and moons could hold the key to our continued existence but until then also provide an opportunity for commercial enterprise. This collection looks at the methods and hardware used to explore moons in particular the JUICE mission to Jupiter but also considers how we as a species might benefit from what we find on other planetary bodies.
