    These are launching pads for Italian WMDs against America and other Christian countries. Bush was right, all hail Obama the commander in chief of our WAR!!!! DEATH TO THE SATURN-ITALIAN AXIS!

    Yeah, but that still doesn't really boost the odds of finding life - There's no atmosphere! The idea that ANYTHING could survive it's entire life without EVER BREATHING is at least a little silly. And under ICE no less? And the salt only makes things worse - News flash: Drinking salt water DEHYDRATES YOU. Why do you think that whales have to surface to gather air and moisture from the atmosphere? The blow-holes are there for a reason. No fresh water == No life.

    Nothing to see here.
