Enceladus

Is there life on Enceladus.......Sky News reporting regarding the news from NASA!

All NASA can do at present is speculate, like the rest of us have to do.

They have not been there and found evidence either way, so it is all speculation. Even spectral analysis of Enceledus does little to help. If I recall they have decected alcohol molecules in the Orion Nebula so organic molecules to an extent mean little. Remember all that life on Mars there was speculation on?

NASA seem to be creating News/press releases to keep them in the public consciousness at present.

Think we should keep our heads down and keep quiet, don't really want a bus load of Orionid lager louts coming to the seaside this bank holiday weekend ?

I think its just a matter of time. Everything out there is just out of reach at present. Surely were not the only ones! Humanoid yes, but as you say, we can only speculate.

Interesting summary stuff on "Ocean Worlds":

Sometimes I prefer a standard Web page! 

There are many criteria which *increase* the
likelihood for life. It is just that - An increase.
