NASA: Nearby ocean worlds could be best bet for life beyond Earth

[darkangel11]

On other planets a person can not survive, because there is no atmosphere with suitable conditions for life. Is it just necessary to constantly walk in a spacesuit.

You also can't survive under water, but people are living on submarines for many months. What about astronauts on international space station?
 You don't need atmosphere to set up an enclosed compound, you just need machinery that will be able to support life in a continuous cycle. It can be done by breaking and merging the elements, just like it's done in a submarine.

This statement doesn't make sense to me. We all know we need water to survive, therefore ocean worlds. And what's the alternative to Nearby...far away? So did NASA think we all previously thought that the best bet for life beyond Earth would be dry planets incredibly far away?

I know right. That's what I was thinking. We don't need to be told this as its glaringly obvious.

NASA has new evidence that the most likely places to find life beyond Earth are Jupiter's moon Europa or Saturn's moon Enceladus. In terms of potential habitability, Enceladus particularly has almost all of the key ingredients for life as we know it, researchers said.

It maybe a good news but not for us who are average and doesnt have the money, power and authority to travel to those places. Aside from that we can not benefit from space travel if it becomes existent in the future. But its good to know that there are already tentative or alternative areas for colonization in case the earth become inhabitable.

It seems to me that such a complex search for planets suitable for habitation should encourage people to think about what you need to care more about our home planet earth. It may be enough to poison her and brutally refers to the nature? You may have to look for other planets?
