EXCERPTS:
In a galaxy filled with a billion stars,
in a universe filled with a hundred billion galaxies,
are we alone?
Methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water
(when electrified, will produce amino acids)
are plentiful on other cosmic bodies
within our own solar system.
But presence of water is key.
EUROPA
A convincing indicator is that Europa is a conductor of electromagnetic energy.
It conducts the magnetic field generated by Jupiter.
This conduction is the signature,
or we think it's the signature,
of salty water inside Europa.
It's believed that the water layer on Europa
might be as much as 100 miles thick.
Now. remember Europa is similar in size
to the Earth's Moon,
so that means that, even though it's a smaller body,
it actually has twice the amount of liquid water
of all of the oceans on Earth put together.
Europa orbits Jupiter in an elliptical pattern.
[which create 'tidal heating' to heat the Europa
and keep water not freezing.]
TITAN
Since 2004, a NASA probe dubbed
Cassini-Huygens
has orbited Saturn,
making multiple flybys at Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
2nd largest moon in solar system,
50% larger than the Earths Moon.
Ir it wasn't in orbit around Saturn,
Titan would be a planet in its own right.
The Huygens lander has touched down on the moon
and sent back images.
but the lander is not mobile.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
is developing a balloon craft
that would carry both imaging gear
and equipment
for studying the Titan atmosphere.
Every broadcast on this planet,
every FM radio-wave,
every television transmission
goes out into the infinite for all eternity.
Can anybody out there be listening?
[rocket will take 2 million years to reach 100 light years away.]
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
In the near future
tiny supercomputers will be integrates in human body
to bolster some of its weaknesses.
...
So by 2030, the common man and woman
will be part biological and part non-biological.
Life is unique,
and that intelligent life is precious.
it should be treasured and protected at all costs.
