He implies “if life did arise on Earth by itself, it would be inconceivable that this is the only planet upon which there is life”(Faulkner 7-8). He describes life on Earth as abiogenesis.

The Europa Orbiter was a mission to send this orbiter to scan underneath the frozen shallow surface but was cancelled in 2002. Another proposal of a cryobot that ejects a hydrobot once it reaches water is a proposed mission but has no serious planning. These facts conclude that Europa could have a huge cold ocean under its frozen surface-inhabiting life and
