Model of a theoretical probe which would use a nuclear heated probe to melt through the layer of ice on Europa's surface. There could be an ocean with life underneath!

    @The_Ninja_Cat There will be a slushy layer of water-ice, with, yes, a generous chance of life. However, they would have been designed to survive such cold waters, being so far from the sun. Pardon my lengthy comment.
