In the fifth interview from the Roddenberry series, Those Who Look Up, Gates McFadden [Dr. Beverly Crusher, Star Trek: The Next Generation] interviews Robert Pappalardo [JPL Planetary Scientist] about Europa Clipper and the search for life beyond Earth. From exploring Jupiter’s icy moon Europa to asking what discovering extraterrestrial life would mean for humanity, they discuss how real-world science and Star Trek inspire each other, and how studying other worlds helps us understand our own.

In the decades since, Star Trek has inspired generations of scientists and engineers to help make that future real. “Those Who Look Up” explores the enduring relationship between science and science fiction. In this interview series, JPL and Caltech subject matter experts sit down with Star Trek actors to share their perspectives on exploration, discovery, and how the work they do has influenced another person, another industry, and the world at large. #startrek #jpl #roddenberry
