Is there LIFE on Europa? NASA to announce major news
Daily Express (UK) ^ | Sept. 21, 2016 | Sean Martin

NASA has called a press conference on Monday when the space agency will announce a breakthrough on the planet Europa.

The US group sent out a cryptic message, stating that there is “surprising activity” on Europa – the most well known of Jupiter’s 67 moons.

NASA has been analysing data from its Hubble Space Telescope which is currently prowling the universe.

The space experts said in a statement announcing the event on Monday, to be broadcast live at 7PM UK time: “Astronomers will present results from a unique Europa observing campaign that resulted in surprising evidence of activity that may be related to the presence of a subsurface ocean on Europa.”

Most scientists agree that where there is water, it massively increases the chances of finding life.

Europa has long been touted as a possible host of life elsewhere in the Solar System, and even boffins working on the Juno Probe, which is currently in orbit around Jupiter, believe that it could be a likely habitable zone for some lifeforms.

It is the old “Lucy and the football” trick. They pull away the football just before Lucy can kick it.

NASA = Never A Straight Answer

The military has a real space program—NASA’s mission is disinformation and a cover story.

One doesn't expect such activity out of an icy moon.

A single cell of green ooze on some other planet is un-refutable evidence of life.

A beating heart, eyes and hair is just an unviable blob of tissue when it’s in the uterus of a woman and subject to abortion at any time.

Of course, a one year old baby is unviable too of you leave him alone long enough.

There may be (intelligent) life on Europa, but very Very soon there will be no (infidel) life left in Europe

For all the money we spend on entitlements, I consider space missions a proper Investment. Let’s just not blow it up on the launchpad.

Is there LIFE on Europa?

Depends on which one you are talking about.

My bet is that either likely has only simple creatures of habit.

My money is on there being no conclusive evidence of life.

You heard it here first.
