Astronomy / Space Giant, Jagged Ice Spikes' Cover Jupiter's Moon Europa, New Study Suggests

[Manticore]

If you're planning a trip to Jupiter's moon Europa, be prepared for a rough landing.

In a study released Monday, scientists say they've found evidence of huge, jagged "ice spikes," some 50 feet tall, on the moon's surface. They spikes would "pose a hazard to any future space mission landing on the moon," according to the study.

I am convinced that the scientists have confused with a park of thousands of Cobra stationed next to a production plant.

When they do they can buy me a new one too!

The more details we find out about other planets/bodies/systems, the less 'empty and boring' it seems.

(p.s. am I the only one who reads these stories and immediately things: "Ok Frontier, over to you to make it happen!" ?)

They have certainly postponed the improvements on the ice planets, to be able to update Europa
