So has life been found in space?
Scientists are taking a fresh look at Europa as a possible home for alien life after old data that suggests there is water on Jupiter's moon.

Have Aliens been found or is it a question from the outset?
Scientists discover fresh evidence of life on Jupiter's moon Europa.
In 1997, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft completed a flyby of Europa and data from the mission shows there was a bend in the moon’s magnetic field. By analyzing the data again, researchers believe the bend could have been caused by a water geyser gushing out of Europa’s icy surface. Planetary scientist Elizabeth Turtle, of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, said:
We know that Europa has a lot of the ingredients necessary for life, certainly for life as we know it. There's water. There's energy.
There's some amount of carbon material. But the habitability of Europa is one of the big questions that we want to understand.

And one of the really exciting things about the detection of a plume is that this means there may be ways that the material from the ocean which is likely the most habitable part of Europa because it's warmer and it's protected from the radiation environment by the ice shell, to come out above the ice shell.

- To discover whether there is, or has ever been, life on Europa.
- To assess whether the celestial body is habitable.
- To analyze the surface of the moon for future missions.
So basically it's a mission to find, analyse, and plan for the future of Europa. Is it because they (NASA) want to eventually colonization Europa as a possible fueling station or a refueling station? It could be the first step or be a "springboard" before a future NASA spaceship goes on and out to the deep parts of space. The last outpost so-to-speak. The potential possibilities if they did that are and could be endless, considering what they find and discover on this mission.

With the future always secured at NASA the possibilities are endless because NASA has always prepared not just for today but for decades and decades to come if not for the next centuries worth of missions. It stands to reason that if they need to allocate funds and materials then they need to know where and when they're going.
Does the amakeelling station make sense?
If they find organic matter they could make bio-friendly fuel?
Does that mean they'll work towards designing and making a powerful biofriendly rocket?
With a potentially unlimited supply of that particular fuel then why not make a rocket powered by organisms found on Europa? Keep an eye on whatever they find, they'll try to use it to their advantage and create a whole new rocket design based on that find, maybe?
I would.
With technology ever changing and evolving plus it's getting smaller, these present real challenges and you'd think it was the absolute opposite wouldn't you but if for instance, one year a satellite has been prepared but something else comes along that does everything that the satellite already does but at half the weight, half size, and half the price then it makes sense to change with the changes?
Or does it?
I mean if it's paid for, why add more costs?
I see the arguments for and against.
If it's already paid for.
The space agency said in a statement:
- Europa may hold the clues to one of NASA’s long-standing goals to determine whether or not we are alone in the universe.
- The highest-level science goal of the mission presented here is to search for evidence of life on Europa.
- This mission would significantly advance our understanding of Europa as an ocean world, even in the absence of any definitive signs of life, and would provide the foundation for the future robotic exploration of Europa.
You see it's all about the future missions. These missions were probably planned for by the predecessors of the NASA scientists right now, maybe? It wouldn't surprise me because that's just how far they look into the future which is all good but does it allow for changes? I'm not too sure about that, unless they know more which I don't which is highly likely!
