"Right," Willard said. "Europa…. But this doesn't feel any different. Can we see Europa? Jupiter? Is there a window nearby?"

Harris smiled ever so slightly. "Glad you mentioned it. First on our agenda is a quick training on how to access the windows on Surveyor."

"But there are no windows," Willard said.

"Actually," Choi said, "We're surrounded by windows."

Everyone searched the smooth paneled surface of the curved ceiling and walls.

"I don't see any," Robert said. "Are they hidden?"

Harris pulled a small remote control device, the size of a credit card, from his jumpsuit pocket. "In a manner of speaking." Harris put the remote control on the table so that everyone could see it. "Some of you may have noticed a small remote in the desk drawer of your quarters. Additionally, you will find a remote, identical to this one, in every room on board Surveyor that has at least one outer hull wall. You'll also all receive your own personal remote, which you can carry with you at all times."

Peterson took the remote and inspected it. "There's only one button." He looked at Harris. "What does it do?"

"Lights," Harris said to no one in particular. The lights, which streamed up from where the floor met the walls, dimmed until the room was pitch black. "Now point the remote at the ceiling and push the button."

Connelly couldn't see Peterson comply, but after ten second she noticed a change in the ceiling. It began to glow white, gently becoming translucent.

Harris began to speak as whatever was happening to the ceiling, continued. "Several of the hull's interior and exterior panels are made from a new material that becomes transparent when a specific electrical charge is applied. Just point the remote at  almost any portion of the outer hull and…"

Within fifteen seconds, the majority of the ceiling had become completely transparent. Connelly gasped.

"…Voila!" Harris said.

Before them was a spectacle no human had ever seen before. Taking up a large portion of the view was Europa, which was bright white, crisscrossed with crimson lines that looked like scars. She could see it so perfectly, so clearly, all her problems with this mission were forgotten. She smiled widely. This was a moon sized Antarctica!

Connelly looked left and gasped again. Jupiter was there, but it wasn't the still shot of Jupiter people are used to seeing. It was fluid and active. Swirls of yellow, orange and red churned over the surface of the planet. Connelly knew that Jupiter was the largest, most powerful of the planets, but to her, from this perspective, it looked fragile.

The conference room glowed light orange from the light reflecting from Jupiter and Europa. Connelly's eyes adjusted, and she could see the rest of the crew, all looking up, mouths open wide.

Robert started to speak. "Oh my… That's, ahh, that's…"

"Incredible," Connelly finished.

Robert nodded.

"I can't believe it," Peterson said, his voice soft with awe. "Jupiter…"
