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)!!
