However, shortly after takeoff disaster strikes the mission, and the chances of the crew making it to Enceladus, let alone back home, look grim. If life does indeed exist on Enceladus, it could only be at the bottom of the salty, ice covered ocean, which formed billions of years ago. The international crew is not just facing a difficult twenty-seven months: if the spacecraft manages to make it to Enceladus without incident it must use a drillship to penetrate the kilometer-thick sheet of ice that entombs the moon. Fifteen years later, a hurriedly built spacecraft sets out on the long journey to the ringed planet and its moon. This sensational discovery shows that there is indeed evidence of extraterrestrial life. In the year 2031, a robot probe detects traces of biological activity on Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons.
