Not sure why that just popped into my head.

It's ok to be intrigued by Io, but not Europa.

Attempt no landing there.

WTF is this article writer pulling out of their assbutt? Io has always been considerd a good candidate for life because it has the temperatures and the elements necessary. For decades, there's been a theory that microbial life can live in it's atmosphere, heated and nourished by the volcanic lumes, something like deep sea life on Earth floating around thermal vents.

The internet is such a shiatshow for science. :(

"Io! Io! Io! Io!"

I strongly doubt any actual scientists 'think' that. I suspect many scientists might agree it is theoretically possible some form of recognizable life may exist on Io/Europa/Titan/pick-a-large-rocky-body-in-the-outer-solar-system, but that's a far cry from TFA. Note no actual scientists are quoted in TFA, which has apparently been dumbed-down for the lowest common denominator reading public.

That helmet-depressurization scene freaked me out as a kid. When I watched it 20 years later, it wasn't nearly as scary.

Wonderful headline, Subby.

Here's a frosty Budweiser for you.

I remember the night Peter Jennings announced on the evening news that a volcano had been discovered on Jupiter's moon, 10. We laughed for awhile.

/That is on my top 5 list of TV moments I would pay money to have recordings of.

Same. Also seemed fine when I saw it as an adult.
