The watery world, though, is far beyond the reach of our puny chemically-powered rockets -- and in any case is quite uninhabitable.Given that thermal springs in Yellowstone have life, I'd say that premise is a bit premature.
I have a feeling that, long after I'm dead, we will find out just how tenacious life is in the Universe - in fact, that the Universe could not exist without it.

It’ll still take a long time to find life.

I wanna look around in the old Lava tubes on mars. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are plenty of caves in the walls of martian canyons too. If there’s life on mars, that’s where it’s likely to be.

And given the black smokers at the bottom of the ocean, I bet the statement is just flat out wrong.
