Probably most of you have heard about Mars One - the project of flight to Mars and building a colony there. But there's a more exotic and even ambitious project called Objective Europa.
This is a crowd-researched project to launch a one-way journey to Jupiter's moon Europa. It's not known yet if some kind of settlement there is planned. Europa is covered with ice that can be a basis for the extraterrestrial life. The flight will take about 600 days. This is how the history of the BeastKeeper world may have started once.
The project is in a theoretical phase right now. You can join and help the mankind to make first steps towards exploring Europa. You don't have to be a rocket engineer or astronaut; the project team is looking for volunteers for social media control, site maintenance etc.
