It's stuff like this that makes me pissed off that we haven't been able to send a probe to Europa (and to a lesser extent Enceladus).

some of those guys, ewww. no wonder they live in the dark cause if they could see anything they wouldnt get laid.  it always bugs me though when people say we know more about space then we do about the deep ocean, thats so untrue

Yeah they can't really send probes onto the actual planets just incase there's the slighest thing on the probe that fucks everythign else up, the probes have to be super sterile during the whole time they are being constructed.

I was just watching a documentary about the Beagle thing they sent to Mars that fell out the sky and smashed into a million bits - OOOoopppsss
