"I'm surprised you wouldn't choose Enceladus or Europa, though, (because of the liquid water presence)."

Craig you are of course quite correct. I was just pointing out that a look closer to home was possible. I did not have the facts that you put forward in my head as I cannot know everything. What would we make of life if found on all these possibilities? If it has the same template as life on Earth would it prove seeding of life by comets/asteroids? If the template is different it would indicate that life is everywhere there is liquid water.

Remember that 1950's science fiction movie where the aliens had a book called "To Serve Man". Too late did people find out as they were being spaceshipped out that it was a cookbook!
