Europa is an interesting pick because of the existence of water, but his suggestion to use a radioactive ball to melt through the ice was new to me. Is this a common answer for "how" to go about getting to the water or is Tyson just improving?

I think a manned mission to #mars would be my pick. Seeing humans step foot on another planet and return safely, even if over a 5-10 year span, would do wonders for our space program and for the world at larges appetite for funding such projects.
