>send men to break ice on Europe to reach the hidden sea

I have lots of ice breaking experience. Perhaps a submersible can have manual attachments that the guy inside can hit with a hammer to break ice outside or perhaps some rotary thing?

I guess it'd come down to oxygen and food as the fuel. I wonder which is most efficient. Certainly not food since we can't make it on the moon unless we garden it.

What manner of shielding is needed, because Europe has some really fucking bad radiation.

How do we make power to power the drill? Hell, how do they stay warm? RTGs seem like a good idea for their waste heat, but you'd need a lot of them for good power output.

Maybe we could send a team down into one of the vents and have them install a tube as they go down to stabilize it? What temperature are those vents?
