strikes me as a particularly Earth-born conceit.
Even if the ice wasn't kilometers thick, I doubt
enough sunlight reaches Europa to make photo-
synthesis via chlorophyll a useful process...

Why wait 30 years? Couldn't we do some computer evolution modeling of
possible Europan life now, however basic and crude it may be?

LOL! Lies, damned lies, and ... computer simulations.
Moore's Law guarantees that you'll be able to opinion-shop
