Life on Europa - New NASA Announcement Coming

Post by Forty Two » Thu Sep 22, 2016 12:44 am

Will it be something very clear and persuasive, or are they going to say, like, that there is a little extra methane that shouldn't be there if there wasn't a bunch of life there?

All these worlds are yours, except Europa! Use them together. Use them in peace. [ But not the religion of peace. Just peace.] (Arthur C. Clarke).

It's steam coming out of a crack in Europa's arse proving there's a ocean, that was long suspected and hardly a surprise at all. Typical NASA attention seeking over nothing to write home about at all. It's run by two year olds - needs a revamp. :coffee:

One mention of the "Building Blocks of Life", and I'll scream.

all the building blocks are there, we just need to know if there's actual life there.

You can have cement. There are plenty of silicates on the surface of Europa.

Just the right conditions and there will be like oodles of cement. Enough to build a really big building block.

There's definitely life in Europe.
