I can bet $1000 that Europa at least has a life form that represents a virus or bacteria. It may not be similar, but it must have a biochemical form.

- cruffle_duffle 2y agoI’d bet it has more than that. Check out all the cool stuff they found swimming around in some subsurface lake/river in Antarctica… before they popped in a camera it was yet another “surely complex life couldn’t possibly survive in that”… The more we look around the more wrong the “surely complex life couldn’t exist in that” crowd become.
- digging 2y agoYes, but also, we don't know where complex life began on earth. It probably wasn't in extreme cold, but who knows. Certain extreme environments may be more amenable to adaptation than to abiogenesis. There are still just many many unknowns, which is why we need more missions like this!
