I will be the frst to admit that I don't understand even half of what the scientists are talking about, but how cool is this: is it just me or does this sort of thing really stretch imaginations and thinking? How utterly, utterly cool to be part of it.

Having the delicious Victoria at home there aren't many times that I'm jealous of someone, but this is one of them.

    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Europa's been suggested as a possible haven of life, in its sub-ice ocean.
    The Jovian Galilean satellites are under huge tidal stresses, so heating them enough to cause vulcanism on Io.
    There were plans hatched to drop a nuclear heated probe, to melt through its ice crust, into the ocean for sampling & possibly photography too.
