That is certainly worrisome. Gah! Aren't these scientists familiar with Arthur C. Clarke?! We're not supposed to be winding down for a few years in 2010! We're supposed to be snooping around Europa and get scolded by great parental/deity figure alien beings and be told that something wonderful is going to happen and that all the other celestial bodies are open to us to explore, but stay away from Europa (which we would promptly ignore). Stupid reality not keeping up with the Science-Fiction writers. Boo.
