Space agencies plan Europa and Jupiter mission

Its 2001 and 2010 all over again lol.

Are they going to bore through the ice and look for life in the Europan ocean? I've been waiting for them to do it for years and I seriously hope they get around to it in my lifetime, because the discovery of extraterrestrial life would, for me, be one of the most spectacular things that could ever happen...

Are they going to bore through the ice and look for life in the Europan ocean? Not on this mission. These are purely orbiters. A landing mission is still some way off.

I it's time that we should stop sending probe . it's waste of time and money, not to mention the information we get is too little to be consider useful . time to put all investment on sending human .

Probes bring back a ton of info for each dollar spent...it will be decades before we will ever be able to send a person to Jupiter; in the meantime sending probes allows us to learn everything we can in the meantime. Otherwise we would just be sitting around waiting to get the chance to travel there...

Otherwise we would just be sitting around waiting to get the chance to travel there... sending a person to jupiter or any of it's moons right now is problematic due to the radation that jupiter produces and the radation that comes in from the sun and gets stuck in its van allen belts. althought two of it's moons also have van allen belts.
