So, I heard they hit the moon with a missile in an attempt to find water. How'd that go?

Success. They found some.

Well I have not seen that particular movie. I was not a fan of the idea of a sequel to 2001 without Kubrik behind the camera.

But I have read science journal articles on Europa.

Water is the source of life?
May sound like it on bottled water adverts, but not really...there's also temperature, conditions, atmosphere, gravity, gases...[insert a billion other things]....

I think I recall reading about a bacteria that thrives in ammonia.
So even if a planet is devoid of water, it could develop life that thrives on some other chemical. Anything is "possible".

I think the assumption that life can't survive on a planet simply because life as we know it couldn't survive is simply absurd.

Why are so many people bent on insistin' that no life could possibly survive anywhere else purely because Earth life can't?
As it is we still can't explain why creatures can survive at the bottom of the ocean, why is it so hard to accept that other creatures could survive on non-terrestrial objects in situations that earth life wouldn't survive on?

To quote Calvin and Hobbs, I think the true sign of life outside of Earth is the fact that no other civilization has tried to contact us. Or something like that. I don't know the exact phrasing, and come to think of it I'm sure it was said before that, but I digress.

I agree to but to live everything needs water and all you said I'm just saying without water a species can't survive once again I agree with you

Does your brain function for more than a second before you start typing?

Ice = FROZEN WATER

Believe it or not, just because it's frozen, doesn't mean organisms can't thrive off of it.

There's an organism (bacteria, actually) that goes for extreme periods without water because it lives in the desert. The fact that is manages to extract water from the most minuscule source, literally down to one molecule, proves that organisms CAN and possibly DO survive on other planets, such as mars and the moon, without a big mass.

Where is Drizz when you need him, he has a degree in Micro-Biology or something to that effect lol
