"This is the fastest lightning round we've ever had," says Dr. Lori Wicket. "I have to use this opportunity to give a shout out to our interstellar Voyager's Voyager." The Voyager missions are on the edge of the solar system right now, and they're the farthest human-made thing that has ever been sent anywhere.

Could there be life under the icy surface of Europa? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic Chuck Nice explore interplanetary missions, asteroid mining, and other exciting launches with the Director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Laurie Leshin.
