To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I always thought they would find something, I have a hard time believing that this is all they found in years of exploring.... hahaha forever the conspiracy theorist 🙂

Finding dead microbes, and discovering complex organic life, are two entirely different things. But I really would like to see, what's going on, inside the underground oceans of Europa, and Iapetus!!!

They are shielded from outer space, with a 2 km thick layer of ice. And many complex earth organisms thrive in below zero temperatures. So these two moons are prime candidates for finding extra terrestrial life (even complex one)!!
