Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye Advocating for a Europa mission to Congress

Ten years ago, Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye spoke to elected officials and staff at an event in the U.S. Capitol. At the time, NASA was reluctant to request funding for the mission. But Congress listened. In its 2015 budget request, NASA formally requested $15 million for the Europa Clipper mission. Thanks in part to ongoing advocacy efforts, the mission is finally a reality.
