Oceans on other planets

actually, all Carbon Based life forms need water. who is to say that there aren’t helium based or other based life forms out there… in fact, if there was even that here on earth, how would we recognize/detect its presence? but I digress…

the odds of these life forms being “Creatures” is highly highly improbable. Most likely what we might see are unicellular organisms, if there is anything at all.

the act of life coming into existance is highly improbable as it is… the odds of it occuring twice in the same solar system, are very unlikely. Earth has been around for billions of years, and life has only been generated here once. (all life forms on earth share a common ancestor.

if we do find life in these waters, they will most likely resemble life here on earth, which would give evidence that life didn’t begin on earth, and earth was possibly “Seeded” by the presence of unicellular organisms on some pieces of floating space debris, that slammed both earth and the moon in question.

Either way, life or no life, either answer from these NASA research missions will answer many questions about the origin of life.

all known life needs water…where their is water…the chances of something living in it are high…

Just because there is water does not mean that there is any life. That’s why they are checking them out.

whoa cool but thats not a music question

If that is the case, it would be a ground-breaking discovery. WOW, would anyone be able to survive at that freezing temp.????
