    You don't need to go that deep to find what it's needed. 10 cm under the icy surface should, theoretically, be enough to find cells if they were forming in the planet. The icy surface insulate the inside well enough to keep everything inside (yeah, even 10 cm) at a general constant temperature. Now, if you want to get to the ocean under it... you would need a big drill, and that's not happening unless they find a good reason to do it.

It's basically impossible to get down there, but then I really have my doubts that a sample from 10cm deep is able to exclude the possibility of life on Europa if it's not found there. +Dani Azakura If liquid water is such a big deal for finding life, then why would a sample 10 cm down in an icecrust be sufficient? I'm not expecting there to be like fish swimming in Europa's ocean, but wouldn't finding life in the actual water be far more likely than finding it encased in ice? Again, I know we can't get there with current tech, but still.

    Proximus is a red dwarf, so that means that b is really close to its star right? Cause then we know the planet will prob be in a tidally locked orbit. Is it possible that around the line between the dark and bright side (hot and cold) there is a spot where there will be just the right temperature for water to exist. And that this spot (little more towards the dark side) will be safe from radiation because of the rock between the spot and the sun. Or ice on the dark side where the molecules didn't make it in to the atmosphere (like on the moon in some craters where there is never sunlight). And because of the activity in the planet (because it is so close to the sun) there will be warmth from beneath so that water could exist under the ice on the dark side. And so, potentially life. Microbial life ofc. Just a question!

    I know a lot of commenters are saying "only 10cm?", well there are many reasons for this. For one, they can't launch off a big drill, not for a first attempt. It will be bulky and will cost a hell of a lot more on an already tight budget, and you don't want to risk a malfunction or something unexpected on extremely expensive equipment, not on this first run. The drill needs to be small so it can get small enough samples into the microscope. Chances are they will have a backup drill just in case the other malfunctions, and they need to be small and well shielded to protect against Jupiters nasty radiation. Also, I'm very sure they will pick a landing site on one of the "tiger stripes", this is where the warmer water is welling up from vents due to tidal forces squeezing and pulling Europa by Jupiters gravity. The warm water then freezes near the surface thus trapping whatever could be in the water at the time. This is an extremely exciting mission, even if we don't find life, we will find out the composition of Europa and other exciting sciency stuff.

    How do scientists come to the conclusions about the makeup of the inside of planets when we can only see the outside from a few light years away.

    oooh, interesting. I didn't know that Jupiter is so radioactive. But since there's fungus inside the Chernobyl reactor, I don't think alien life would have as many problems with radiation as we do. On a side note, I wished there was a 0.75 speed option.

    Ok, so here's my main concern about Europa. Jupiter puts out massive amounts of radiation and if our instruments which are made out of non-organic materials can only last 20 days or so, what in the world makes people so excited about potentially living there in the far future? Yes maybe we would find some form of organic lifeform(s) in which has the potential to be interesting, however you still never will get across the fact that we could never live there combining the factors of radiation, with massive tidal effects due to the host planet the moon revolves around. i would love to see a sci-show episode dedicated to how we as humans could overcome these factors as well as the not mentioned until now the fact that jupiter saves our earth from the asteroid belt and how factors such as that could also effect Europa, and if such other data is known and how that could also affect future colonies or exploration missions.

    I was expecting a bit more from the lander tbh. Thinking back I thought a bit too much. A lander that had a drone that would melt its way into the liquid oceans and automatically navigate it taking samples and searching for underground structures.

    But if you took five random samples of ice from the middle of Antarctica, would you be guaranteed to find life?... They could miss it entirely.

    Argh, all the presumption! Someone modelled what the environment might be like on Proxima B's planet, so we conclude there is no chance of life. Once we assumed there was little life in the deep oceans... then we discovered hydrothermal vents.

    Yeah, nobody with a little knowledge of the nature of red dwarf stars was holding out much hope for life there. The zone is so close and the stars are so inconstant. Not that we know how long it would take for life to develop anywhere since we haven't more than the foggiest notion of how it could develop. We know that life exists on earth, and we know a lot about the makeup and function of living cells, but nobody has come up with a plausible scientific scenario for how it came to exist.
