A favorite film of mine. Not too many sci-fi epics have an upbeat ending like that. 'Europa' was also a beautiful instrumental piece by Santana a few decades ago. Gives the impression of flying through clouds... There has been talk about aquatic life forms on Europa for a few decades now. The dissolved gases present in any liquid water have always been the other big unknown. Could be adapted microorganisms, multi-cellular beasties or even real Sea Monkeys... Promises to be interesting regardless of findings. Give that horn a good honk... Moo IP Logged

Attempt no landings there." And never mind the horn. When I get 'Destiny' sorted, it'll need a full orchestra. (Must have a listen to Santana sometime.) IP Logged
