Cassini Could Find Signs of Life on Enceladus
New Scientist reviews the possibility that the Cassini probe might be repurposed to look for signs of life on Saturn's enigmatic moon Enceladus. "[Enceladus' water vapor] plume's origin is still being debated, but some models suggest the moon holds an ocean of liquid water beneath its surface. This ocean could be a potential habitat for extraterrestrial life. ... Though the probe was never designed to look for life, it could do so by studying organic chemicals such as methane in the plume, the team says."
I am sure their Enceladus are teaming with bacteria from the unwashed hands of the employees who prepare them.
Maybe we'll find the Intelligent Designer with a supercomputer designing life on earth. All that vapor must come from water-cooling the circuits
It's a moon, so obviously... WHALES!!!
Everybody sing: "we're whalers on the moon..."
Because in space, no one can hear you fart.
More importantly, no one can smell it, either.

It may NOT find life there...
Wow, the things that happen in this crazy solar system.
NO SIG
With all the weird things we find on Earth, I wonder what could be in that water?
Don't drink it.
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
That's what you get for thinking in college.
...but what happens if you just find a brown stain...
Please, enough about the Ubuntu wallpaper already!
