	<htmltext><p>Amen.  The possibility of extraterrestrial life is easily the most interesting thing there is.  We might get more energy from nuclear engineering or more food from genetic engineering or longer life from medical sciences, but this is like the gold of the scientific world: it is intrinsically valuable.

	<htmltext>  By Habitable they mean habitable by some
life forms. A claim made for any place that
happens to have liquid water in it. Since
Enceladus has occasion steam, water jet
out pooring doesn't mean it has a steady
warm inner ocean, like titan is thought to
have. I just read on Scientific American the
latest results on the surface and interior
of Titan. Titan has very good conditions for
life, and since its so close to Enceladus, and
the whole saturn system, is so full with
minor particles, its easy to imagine life starting
in Titans ocean, and getting carried to Enceladus.
I'm not expecting anything much bigger than
a microbe though.

<sentencetext>The conditions on Enceladus are believed to be short lived.
It hasn't been going on for billions of years so complex life forms can not have had time to evolve.And... you wouldn't be impressed by simple life forms?Okay, well, that's cool, but why you were paying any attention at all is beyond me.

	<htmltext>Just my interpretation, but I believe that the proto-omniscient intelligence assumed that whether or not humans let their curiosity get the better of them was irrelevant since it could easily stop any attempt at landing.  The implied end of the monolith's message was really "ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE.  UNDERSTAND THAT IT WOULD BE NO PROBLEM AT ALL TO THWART YOUR PITIFUL EFFORTS.  NOTICE THAT JUPITER IS NOW A STAR?  YEAH."
<br> <br>
And according to "2061: Odyssey Three," all attempts to send robotic probes failed when they got close- it wasn't just an idle warning; a monolith stuck around on Europa in order to protect it from interference.  So while the other Galilean moons were colonized soon after Jupiter was ignited, humanity really did stay off the surface.  Until a gigantic diamond hit Europa, anyway.</htmltext>
