    This is very interesting stuff. Who knows maybe microbial life exists elsewhere in the solar system

    I've had that same thought while reading about Europa before. I used to watch that movie as a kid. The part where the black spot on Jupiter first comes into view and the background music they had used to spook me actually.

    I want to see if methane lakes and organic molecules made anything on Titan. We know there are lakes and we know it rains....something should have kicked in.

    The difficulty is essentially in sending a unmanned operation to examine the area. And if there is no life, then we've pretty much wasted billions of dollars.
