My money was always on Europa around Jupiter.

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS - EXCEPT EUROPA.
ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE.

There’s evidence that Europa’s subsurface ocean is too sulfurous for life to exist. It’s thought to be similar to Io near the core, with undersea volcanos spewing sulfur compounds. They’d be too caustic for single cell organisms.

That was a good bet until they discovered that the radiation level around Jupiter is about 1 million rad.

Life under those conditions would be horribly deformed and psychotic. We would have to call it Homo Pelosius.
