Europa, or bust!


"ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS, EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE"
Did we learn nothing from Kubrick? wink emoticon
NASA is planning a landing mission to the Jovian moon Europa, which besides Earth is the most likely of all system bodies to harbor life, as liquid water is known to be plentiful there below the frozen surface.
Caution: If any black monoliths are discovered, abandon the mission, tout suite.

    The methane based life in the lakes of Titan will be interesting.

    Tout de suite
    Meaning: At once.
    Origin: At once, or right away, is the literal translation of this French phrase. This is very often written incorrectly as tout suite.
