It is year 2100 and humanity is on the verge of its most ambitious expedition ever: the first crewed mission to Europa, one of Jupiter’s most intriguing and potentially life-bearing moons. In this futuristic documentary, we follow how such a mission could realistically unfold using technology that builds directly on today’s scientific research. From a megacity on Earth, a massive interplanetary spacecraft is assembled in a colossal factory, designed for long-duration human survival far beyond Mars.

The journey is made possible by a two-stage nuclear propulsion system. Nuclear Thermal Propulsion provides rapid acceleration away from Earth, while Nuclear Electric Propulsion sustains continuous thrust for months, allowing the crew to reach Jupiter in about a year—far faster than past robotic missions. Inside the spacecraft, four astronauts live and work in carefully designed habitats, managing radiation risks, artificial gravity routines, and the psychological challenges of deep-space travel.

Upon arrival, Europa reveals itself as a frozen, alien world. With surface temperatures below −160°C, sunlight only a fraction of Earth’s, and Jupiter dominating the sky, the environment is harsh yet mesmerizing. The crew lands using propulsive engines and steps onto a surface of fractured ice, salt deposits, and towering ridges. Beneath their feet lies a global ocean, hidden under tens of kilometers of ice, warmed by tidal forces and possibly capable of supporting life.

Using plume-sampling drones and deep drilling systems, the astronauts search for organic molecules, amino acids, and microbial cells. What they discover could reshape our understanding of life in the universe. Europa may be the place where humanity first confirms that we are not alone.

Join us on this journey into the future—and decide for yourself what might be waiting beneath Europa’s ice.
