Found water? Extremely useful investment of time and money that. If ever we run out on earth....

All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there. Use them together. Use them in peace.

Actually, water would be very useful for space travel. Plus, the chances of life could be the greatest on Europa. Interesting times.

First of all, it helps prove the likelihood that water exists in many other places. Secondly it could be used as fuel.

Yea, the earth is mostly water, we'll never run out, unless those fuel cell cars start using it all up to make hydrogen bombs.

Excellent. Could be some whacking great beasts too, not the little microbes that people once believed we might find on Mars. The combination of cold and deep water could make for some seriously meaty aliens.

Too late. We'll finally send a sub-ice probe up there only to find the Japanese got there fifteen years before, and have harpooned, tinned and eaten the whole lot....and, frankly, who can blame them. Europa Sushi, absolutely scrumptious.
