It wrinkles my brain that Jupiterโs moon Europa has oceans that are sixty miles deep, while Earthโs oceans only reach seven miles deep at most. Iโm willing to bet good money that thereโs life in Europaโs oceans. Like five bucks. You hear me, NASA? I bet you five bucks that thereโs life on Europaโฆ Now that thereโs money and reputation on the line, I bet they send a mission there real quick.

โIn the 1970โฒs the Princeton physicist Gerard OโNeill with the help of NASA Ames Research Center and Stanford University held a series of space colony summer studies which explored the possibilities of humans living in giant orbiting spaceships. Colonies housing about 10,000 people were designed and a number of artistic renderings of the concepts were made.โ
