The interior ocean in Jupiter's moon Europa may be able to sustain life, NASA scientists believe.

Their work is based on computer simulations of the reservoirs below the ice-shell surface of Europa, one of the largest moons in the Solar System.

Pretty sure Arthur C Clark claimed that many, many years ago.

That’s called pulling Europa out of Uranus.

Yeah, and they should attempt no landings there either.

Maybe this is the “life” in Europa they were talking about:

Thought this would be an jnteresting read until I saw it was based on computer simulations. Chances of life on Europa plummeted to zero if sims say it exists. Sims haven’t been to accurate about anything lately.

"Their work, which is not yet peer-reviewed,..."

and filled with "suggests" and "we believe."

There is life on Earth. Everywhere else there is speculation. That is all.

Acts 19;35 “And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a WORSHIPPER of the great goddess Diana, AND OF THE IMAGE WHICH FELL DOWN FROM JUPITER?”

Simulations could be made to make life exist almost anywhere. You could easily design a simulation where methane replaced oxygen, and that’s what everyone breathed / lived off of.

Diana = Artemis and Jupiter = Zeus in the Greek text.
