Europa Discussion

[Protoss Dragoon]

What Is Europa?
 Europa is one of the four galilean moons. It's surface is frozen in thick ice, Approx 65 mi deep
 It however has no atmosphere, and was discovered : January 8 1610
 And it is one of two smallest moons, being a bit bigger than Triton Neptune's Moon And being a bit smaller than our moon, Luna (Europa Size : 3k km)
 
 How is it important?
 Aside from being an icy moon, scientists speculate there may be life under it's icy surface, they believe that under all that ice,  
 there are vast, liquid oceans of water, due to it's core being warm, this may actually be possible do to the fact that earth does
  contain creatures that live under the ocean and use the heat from Heat vents in the ocean.

So if this is possible, life MAY Actually possible on Europa!, but the possiblity is doubtful.

[Pastrey Crust]

erm

moons don't have atmospheres



it's much more believable that we'd ever colonize a planet than a moon

[Magus]

Tell that to Titan.

All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there.

All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there.

you can tell them that you remember when there was a pitch black sky, with no bright star, and people feared the night. you can tell them when we were alone. when we couldn't point to the light and say to ourselves, "there's life out there". some day, when children of the new son will meet the children of the old, i think they will be our friends. you can tell your children of the day when everyone looked up, and realized that... we were only tenants of this world. we have been given a new lease - and a warning - from the landlord.
