Their hope, eventually, is to use electricity generated by nuclear power to propel a space probe and power its instruments on a voyage to the icy moons of Jupiter, satellites that just possibly might harbour life beneath their ice.

Any life on the Jovian satellites will be unicellular. For multicellulars to evolve, there has to be plentiful oxygen, and for there to be plentiful oxygen there has to be plants. I don't think the sunlight at Jupiter's orbit is sufficient to support extensive plant life.

I agree with you on that, unless we turn Jupiter into a sun.

We'll have to get a few nuke power plants going on those satellites, and warm 'em up!!!;)
