*Digging the social media here.
*"Alien life" that is seething in the lightless water-oceans in Europa sounds like a distinctly alien possibility, but if life exists there at all, then I would bet it's not "alien" life. On examination, it will turn out to be a microbial cousin of the life that's found anywhere else in the solar system.
*I would surmise that life didn't evolve from Europa from scratch; that would be too much trouble, too fancy for Occam's Razor. Europa will turn out to be just one normal example of the many moons and planets that shelter life beneath their crusts, and sometimes spew that life out in plumes. The solar system's plumes are biological contamination vents.
*Of course that's just a far-fetched conjecture of mine, but suppose it's true. What would "alien life" really be like, with that supposition? Is our particular galactic arm saturated with panspermian life, gushed out of various moon plumes? Maybe so, but that doesn't mean that ALL galactic arms are like ours. And the other galaxies, maybe they rejoice in some genuinely alien situations.
