The Planetary Society Book Club: Alien Oceans with author Kevin Hand

What if we find life elsewhere in our Solar System, not on Mars, but deep under a thick blanket of ice in the warm, salty ocean of Jupiter's moon Europa or Saturn's Enceladus? JPL scientist Kevin Hand has helped lead the search for many years. Host Mat Kaplan welcomes Dr. Hand to the Society's book club for a mind-blowing conversation about our progress. They close with some of Kevin's wilder speculations. Could there be intelligent life building a civilization in the deep dark of that undersea world?
