Europe tells US: 'Come to Europa'


By Jonathan Amos, BBC News science reporter



The next big cooperative European-US space mission will be to Europa, the ice-crusted moon of Jupiter.


A joint working team is being set up to consider what sort of spacecraft would be needed and what each side could do.


Officials in Washington and Paris are keen to follow up the spectacular success of Cassini-Huygens at Saturn.


"It was a beautiful marriage and we really are looking to do a repeat," said Professor David Southwood, from the European Space Agency (Esa).

I sure hope the US and Europe get together on a Europa lander.

Just because the 'knuckle head' politicos can't seem to get along, doesn't necessarily mean that scientists can't form a cooperative venture.

What a startling find it would be to find life on Europa! Surely there would be enough credit, data, and champagne for all sides to enjoy!
