I completely agree, Time and money well spent could give us vital information about cold dark, high pressure liquid environments and the lifeforms that we have found to thrive in them. This information would have to be gathered in the exact same manner anywhere else, but millions of miles would have to be travelled first. And lets face it, even NASA aren't daft enough to send a high pressure submersible ROV to a different planet.
