MRB_Doom Posted August 8, 2013 If We Landed on Europa, What Would We Want to Know? So what goodies can we find on Europa? Artist's concept looks cool though. Any thoughts? 0 Share this post Link to post

Netherstorm Posted August 8, 2013 I remember watching a video a while ago about what if nasa sent out a probe that could land on europa, the probe then drills into the surface with some sort of robotic instrument; the guys who were narrating the whole video said that it would take at least 1-2 weeks for it to reach the H20 layer of the inner planet. Then the instrument swims around the water and searches for any sings of life. This is all off by memory though. EDIT: Found it 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted August 8, 2013 Trouble is, there's a risk of contaminating Europa with Earth bacteria. It would be cool if we could get some sort of drill there, and perhaps some sort of submarine under the surface, assuming there is water underneath.

Acid Posted August 8, 2013 We would like to know how much America/China/Russia etc would like to stake a claim for. UN won't be enough to stifle the big superpowers from their pressures in wanting a share (assuming the land is profitable). Oh, and if the benefits of Europa would be applicable to me in my lifetime. If yes, cool, if not, I don't need any more info. 0 Share this post Link to post
SavageCorona Posted August 9, 2013 I'd want to know if there's any pools of fart that instantly freeze whatever is thrown in there so I can throw ewoks in there and watch them shatter at the bottom. I love ewoks but I can't resist shattering them like that because they're so small and cute. And also if the gravity is low so I can do it in slow motion. 0 Share this post Link to post

SavageCorona Posted August 9, 2013 I STILL WANT TO DO IT ON EVERY PLANET AND MOON. EDIT: @Above post, I don't care, make a machine that converts water into methane so it's lakes of liquid methane so I'm happy throwing ewoks and shattering them. 0 Share this post Link to post
