NASA is being forced by the US government to fly a mission to Europa the most likely place well find alien life in the Solar System

2014-03-07 19:49:13| Extremetech

In a rather intriguing twist, it appears that NASA is now mandated by law to fly a robotic mission to Jupiter's watery moon Europa. Europa is an incredibly exciting science target, as it's believed to have a 100-kilometer-thick (62 miles) outer layer of water, with water ice on top (it's very cold out there) and a liquid water ocean beneath that. As we continue to learn more about the tenacious lifeforms found in deep, cold waters here on Earth, excitement grows over the possibility of Europa's oceans harboring extraterrestrial life.
