Plan to melt through Europa's ice
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3548139.stm

Researchers are testing technology that could allow a lander to melt through the ice crust of Jupiter's moon Europa to reach the water ocean beneath.
Space scientists want to send a craft to the Jovian moon because its ocean might, in theory, harbour life.

Haven't these guys read 2010???

2. Cassini all over. We'll have 2,584,181opposing web sites because
the probe will necessarily contain plutonium-238.
