SEATTLE — A privately funded team may beat NASA to the punch when it comes to looking for life on the Saturn moon Enceladus.
Breakthrough Initiatives — a program founded by billionaire tech investor Yuri Milner to hunt for alien life and help explore the cosmos — is considering launching a mission that would fly through the plume of water vapor and other material emanating from Enceladus’ south polar region, Milner said here yesterday (Nov. 9) at The Economist magazine’s inaugural global space summit, called “A New Space Age.”
