Dual drill could be used on Europa

I would love to volunteer to be the 1'st man or kid to go fishing on Europa! Wouldn't that be something. we had Neel Armstrong , 1st man to walk the moon, now you can have me, 1st man to fish on a moon

Now this is the kind of stuff we should be doing. This is awesome.

after I had a conversation with a friend who work in oil drilling related work , I come to conclusion that the biggest problem for mission to Europa will the drilling part . my friend confirm with me that with our current technology , it's impossible to drill miles deep without getting stuck even once.

This is not going to be your typical oil rig type drill and even then we can drill deep enough no problem.

Was this not a problem with Antarctica ? Lubricants could destroy protozoan life.

He's right. It will be very interesting when this happens. I'm extremely confident that we will find some sort of life there. The odds of finding life there is higher than not finding life there. Unless you're a creationist and then when we find life there you'll say we planted it in a conspiracy against god.

/Whistles quietly./ Since no one else is likely to think of this, I'll say it. . . "Yours is the drill that will pierce the Heavens!!!!!" [/Guren Lagann reference] Hope they find something there, but if not, at least they'll have developed a heat drill to melt miles of ice.
