Personally, it does not seem very Deep Soace, how about locating one out near Europa.
What's the old quote. "All these things are your except for Europa".
Doubt i will live long enough to see a device exploring the ocean under the ice.

Nice quote Glen

every time I go to my 12" dob for a night of viewing I'm reminded of Bowmans last words..."My God! It's full of stars!"

Maybe he fell into Hubble?

Run some conductors, and moving through that magnetic field might just power the whole station.
