If there are geysers, then it definitely has a molten core. Geothermal energy is the cause of geysers.

We'll probably end up colonizing some of those moons and use giant magnifying mirrors to heat it up enough for for human life to live on the surface.

There is still a chance this isn't true - I hope it is though.

And I hope we find life that is nothing like what we have here on earth so we can prove once and for all we are not and can not be alone in the universe. To think we are alone is pretty arrogant. It also means many religions will have to go back to the drawing board. None of this creationism bullshit.

That sort of reminds me of an Adam Corolla Project episode.

I have a feeling we won't find sentient beings but maybe bacteria or some type of plants

It's official.

The surprising discovery excited some scientists, who say the Saturn moon, Enceladus, should be added to the short list of places within the solar system most likely to have extraterrestrial life.

Should be a top story on CNN but of course.. it isnt.

I still give Europa a higher chance for life... I mean its a surface of ice, possibly over a huge sea of warm water and it has an oxygen atmosphere.

Hello 2001: A Space Odyssey.

[Rbstr]

[xmodum]
