Life on Pluto?

EccentricAnomaly writes "The BBC is reporting that new models of icy moons in the outer solar system predict that oceans (as in liquid water oceans) may be much more common than previously thought. Even Pluto and Neptune's moon Triton now appear to be good candidates for a liquid ocean under their ice. This is exciting because life has been found on Earth in environments similar to these icy oceans at Antarctica's Lake Vostok."

    you forgot the religious zealots. extra-terrestrial life of any sort is a problem too often set aside for later debate ... actually finding some would mean -way- more fun discussions at the dinner table. i wouldn't mind.
