It also means evidence of life may be at the surface, in the form of organisms trapped.

A single cell organism would be a huge discovery, and now that there is a path from liquid to the surface, is significant. There is energy inside: either via tidal friction, nuclear decay or insulated molten core.

Just land where it “snows”, melt and examine.

saline water emanating from Europa’s surface...any future mission to Europa would be able to access this salt-water ocean with greater ease.

You mean, like just standing there and having it splash all over them?

more evidence is needed before anything can be said definitively.

Well, I guess it’s settled science then. /s
