We've got plenty of hard problems to work out before we can haul off to Europa, at least with people. Solving those problems will be more impactful in the long run than whatever we might find there. I mean, you could drive to Alaska for an ice cream cone, but the fact that you can get one out of your fridge is more impactful to you personally. Also, I try not to get too caught up in imagining specifics. Often we overlook the valuable and surprising because we are looking for the wrong thing: the thing we expect to see.
