Well aquatic for one?
fuck I want to go investigate that shit so bad

The hypothetical kind.

But seriously, if there is some, it'll most probably be akin to the life we've found here on earth around the black smokers.

I highly recommend reading the book "The science of astrobiology"

very very interesting, gives reasonable scientific explanations to what might be living in Europa

Regardless if the ocean below the ice surface is liquid or not, there would be little reason to seek the surface since all it would provide is risk of pressure loss in a crack. The Europan world would be totally dark.

Find a spectroanalysis of Europa's surface ice.

If water, expect tentacles.

>>3957369
Easier said than done,
but a lot of evidence is pointing towards a liquid interior

So, what if we go there and there are a shit ton of fish and such, basically a copy of our ocean life, what then?

>>3958466
Fishing.

they can be our new fuel

>>3958466
wtfbbq convergent evolution is what.

>What type of life exists in Europa if it has water under the icy crust?
The not there type.

I bet there's huge whale like creatures without eyes who use sonar.

They obviously speak whale.

> What type of life exists in Europa if it has water under the icy crust?

Why, it would be Europaen life, anon

There is no life on Europa, you silly romantics.

>>3958492

Why do you think that?

>>3958526
That's not a very nice thing to say about life on Europa.

>>3958535
People used to think there was life on Venus and Mars. Mars turned out to be a vacuous desert instead of a inhabitated planet covered in canale. Venus turned out to be a hellish place of lava flows, acid rain, ridiculously high temperature, and crushing pressure instead of a planet covered in a hot, foggy rain forest. Europa will turn out to be a cold rocky sea instead of a cornucopia of undersea flora and fauna.

>>3958526
Europa has no life because it works too hard. Give it some time off and a chance to socialize and I'm sure it will come out of its shell...

>>3958552
First off, life on Mars isn't entirely ruled out yet.
Secondly: Yeah, you're probably right. But not *certainly* right.

>>3957311
If there is non-microbial life it's most likely completely blind.

>>3958576
There isn't life there... yet. Once we're fairly sure that there isn't life there, we'll drop terraforming fungi, bacteria, and plants.

>.0007 bar be damned!

>>3958552

Are you that angry simian guy? Get the fuck off the website reported.

You think it will just be an empty sea? really, SO FAR every single planet we've found that has water oceans will develop life.

>>3958552
We should send some bacteria there to jump start things then. Maybe in a couple thousand years there will be fish or something.

>>3958633
>dat dere sample size of ONE
>dat lack of evidence of life on mars

You're reporting people for what now?

>>3958667
For bacteria to fish, we're looking at hundreds of millions of years... provided said oceans are homologous to our oceans, which they aren't.

>>3958696
It'll be a bad fish with one eye

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS - EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE.

ATTEMPT
NO
LANDINGS
THERE

>>3958687

Are you saying there are liquid oceans on Mars?

>>3958487
>>3958487

The intense gravity from Jupiter causes "tidal flexing" which prevents all liquid accept the surface to freeze

>prevents to freeze all liquid accept the surface

Keep reading chap.

>>3958789
There was. Water vanished from the surface of mars after losing is magnetic field, because mars was too small, and too far away the Sun.

>>3960728
Partially right. Mars was too small to retain its heat, and its magnetic field died as a result of the core cooling. However, it was this magnetic field loss COMBINED with the decline in volcanism and CO2 renewal from them that lead to an eventual blowing away and freezing out of the atmosphere and water.
There are still entire continent-sized regions of Mars that are 60% water ice by mass.

we might have better idea if we compromised Lake Vostok in Antarctica. (drilled down to see what's in this super-oxygenated liquid water lake thats been buried under miles of ice for 20 million years.)

>>3960762

Aren't the Russians sending a probe down in that lake later this year?

>dat feel when there's an intelligent species of fish that are just starting to craft weapons and tools out of rocks and ice.

>>3963497

feelin it

if there's life then it's just microbial

>>3963497

Gods... and demons.

>> Chthulu

Communists, mostly.

And you would know this, wouldn't you?

their women will look a lot like ours but also entirely different. they will be sane, rational, funny, and not prone to drama or pointless arguments. the blue lightly glowing skin will be slimey but in a sexy warm lube kinda way. they will prefer human males who have fur on their necks. their vaginas are, like, totally amazing with all kinds of wild muscle contractions and super ribbed for his pleasure, super tight but also easy to get into. our human male penis's, even the smallest of them, will seem huge in comparison to europan males. their sexy voices oh damn. gill jobs like blowjobs but wilder. and they're so nice, they're just... really great you guys i'm going to marry one.
