"Wherever there is water, there is life..."


I am so excited to see that the non-scientific community is showing great interest in this most amazing of natural phenomenon.  It's possible that in our lifetime, we could see the actual, physical, quantifiable data that the Europa 2020 mission shows us through photographs.  This is the beginning of the beginning and finally, we can get excited about what NASA is doing again.

An update on the Europa 2020 mission from BBC News

The link below relates a Q&A with BBC News and NASA scientist Dr Robert Pappalardo.  This is really good information about the expected outcomes and the purpose of this mission.  Like me, NASA agrees that Europa is a great place to start to look for possible environments which could support life.  I encourage you to visit the link below:
