Given the forum, is it safe to say that I have been facinated by Europa since Clark's publication of '2001?' Sun Tzu, is there a possibility that we can infer earth's beginnings from data gathering probs of Europa, as we have done in the past with Mars? It strikes me as a tremendous scientific opportunity. (We can fund it with Bush's proposal to send men to Mars. )
