Those eggheads at NASA have done it again—water hints at life on moon of Saturn. The moon Enceladus, that is, and only for certain values of “hints at”, anyhow; scientists within the agency have been reserved as to the suggestion that a watery geyser on a frozen lump of space-rock means life is present.
But one cannot be too careful. Theoretical though they may be, microbial though they would in their unlikely geyser-dwelling existence be, I prefer nonetheless to acknowledge Brockman’s Wager: I most heartily welcome, should they happen to exist, our new Enceladusian overlords. Let us hope they find Yellowstone a comforting home away from home.
And now, a promotional concern: some of our work here at The Times has been featured in the latest podcast episode of The Delta Park Project’s biweekly flagship product, The Big Show. We’re please as punch to be featured by such excellent Portland folks, and heartily recommend this and their other programs. Examine the whole roster at deltaparkproject.com.
