I'd rather steer clear of Europa until we've studied it more, will care. It's the best chance in the Solar system of extra-terrestrial life, and I don't want to risk contaminating it.



I heard about that. Guy has no evidence whatsoever that those particles are organic, let alone off-world organisms. The information content of those pictures is precisely zero.
Pretty sure NASA scientists can sterilise the actual stuff that'd be hitting down on the Europan surface though. The sooner the better, imo! I don't want to die without having seen pictures of the surface of Europa, Titan and Ganymede.

And Pluto. And Io. And Miranda. Because tectonics.
