If it can sustain human life, can we rename it planet Reagan and start a colony of displaced Americans? Beam me up from the BS going on in this country.

Well, there is our gas station for oxygen, now we need to find a huge source of hydrogen to explore the outer reaches of space.

"Well, there is our gas station for oxygen, now we need to find a huge source of hydrogen to explore the outer reaches of space." Funny you should ask. Jupiter's upper atmosphere is composed of about 88–92% hydrogen. Isn't that convenient?

Water is a huge source of hydrogen.

Jupiter Gas and Quickie Mart, best fuel for Billions of miles.

As I understand it, the sea is extremely salty like the dead sea.

Rename it Rura-Carter and make it into a penal colony.

But, you would still need fuel to break those 2 Hydro and OYX atoms apart in water to get hydrogen.

I am sure that the Sierra Club and the envirowackos are in the process of blocking any and all access to Europa and Jupiter, so you can forget that.

Sorry...this 50 million year thing etc etc...does not fit with Creation. Evolving from single cell? This type of guess work on the Jupiter’s moon is bound to be flawed if these same individuals think evolution could actually happen.
We haven’t even explored all of our own oceans yet and we got people wanting to go see what is under several miles of ice???

As we know it.
Why do scientists assume that the conditions for life have to be as they are here?

Actually, you don't need that much fuel to travel far in space because once you get going you keep moving until something stops you, or your engines stop you, you would need fuel to maneuver and stop, and go.

Can't believe nobody post this yet:

Good point.
Personally I’m almost hoping we don’t find life. In reality it would bring us to a dead stop. If we do find life, it better be damned primative if we are to have any chance of going near it.
Robert Forward’s “Saturn Rukh” lays out a pretty likely scenario of what would likely happen if we were to find intelligent life.
We need life we can eat, air we can breath, and water we can drink
