Very interesting find and thanks for sharing. I have always been interested in Jupiter's ice laden moon, Europa. Who knows what is under that ice and
is waiting to be discovered? Just the thought of finding complex life on another celestial body is enticing enough, but an opportunity to prove it, is
groundbreaking for mankind.
However, can we expect NASA to be forthright about their findings to the public? We know about their shady disposition regarding the Moon landings and
Mars exploration. Still so many questions and no concrete answers from the agency tasked with space exploration and discover? Their candor has been
questioned for sometime, and hopefully, with the mission to Europa, the tide changes, and a definitive answer is given to address our questions.
However, I am skeptical about NASA and its integrity regarding life beyond planet Earth.
Any idea when a new mission is going to be launched to Europa and what technology has been green lighted for the undertaking? It would have to be a
submersible of sorts and something efficient enough to drill through miles of ice. I am interested to find out what technologies are in the
development stages for such a difficult undertaking. Below, is a cool video showing a simulation of underwater exploration on Europa.
This is getting to be an exciting time for space exploration! I can't wait to see what they find on that alien world. Hopefully, NASA spills the
beans for once in their long and shady history.

how come scientists overlook critical data and make preposterous statements and commit work to something that cannot be found there period.
These are people who think they are smart
