That article is quite interesting and quite possibly deserves its own thread. SLS launched Europa probe with included soft-lander? Yes Please!

I wonder how that flies after about 3 tonne of armament has been removed. Plenty of room for the science stuff with that big cannon taken out.
Not even duct tape will fix stupid, but it can muffle the sound.

It should not happen, we've been warned. Yes, I know it's a movie. Still not comfortable with the idea.

don't be an idiot
europa is the place we're most likely to find life beyond earth ... there could be extraordinary life forms under the ice

If it doesn't go beneath the ice, how will it discover if there is life there?
Contamination need not be strictly microbial. Humans seem to spread death wherever they go. It would be perfectly human of us to kill the first extraterrestrial we meet.

A lander would likely land on or near one of the brownish areas on the surface of Europa and do an analysis of what is found there.
Thinking about this: a landing NEAR one of those brownish areas would be useful to determine the difference between a portion of Europa's surface which is relatively clean from what is apparently leaking from under its ice cap.

Well, of any Earthly life.
Being well inside the Jovian radiation zone (like Earth's Van Allen Belts) all of Europa's environment IS completely hostile to any life from the Earth (maybe except for tardigrades), but that doesn't mean that life is necessarily nonexistent there, just differently evolved.

Yes - well, the set of Tatooine in Tunisia.
With a sky like that it's a shame to put SFX over it.

Yeah, they really scored with that set. IIRC, the only SFX involved adding the bad guys, the remains, and the occasional space ship. The rest was actually that sky/lighting.

And, like, a second moon... or sun... or something, wasn't there?
