The hardest thing for life to overcome on europa would be the extreme amount of radiation from the nearby planet. Radiation at that level interferes heavily with the inner workings of cells, especially DNA.

This is probably true, but I still think that we are a bit too geo-centric when it comes to extraterrestrial life. We may well find that life, in some form or another, does exist in such harsh places and has found a hardier substitute for DNA. At least, it would be pretty fucking amazing if it did.

My dream is that the Titan sub makes it to Titan, lands in a lake, then some giant methane based organism devours it. Everyone in the world loses their shit ;p

New Horizons: Five known Pluto moons now spotted.

New Horizons is getting closer and closer to Pluto everyday with the closest approach to happen on July 14th! This is a pretty exciting year for Astronomy!

IV) Marseats missions for breakfast and shits out failure.

One of NASA's subcontractors, Lockheed Martin, used Imperial units instead of NASA-specified metric units. This incompatibility in the design units culminated in a huge miscalculation in orbital altitude. The poor orbiter plummeted through the Martian atmosphere and burned up.

lol

I don't get how a defense contractor wasn't sharp on using metric.

France manages to fuck everything up. Absolutely everything.
