On which moon, or planet, do you think we will find alien life?

The candidates as far as moons are, are Titan, Enceladus, or Europa? All 3 are intriguing and have caught NASA's attention, in fact as I type this Nasa is in the planning stages of a mission to Europa, so they must think it is the best bet, but not so fast. I wonder if it is a possibility that there is some type of life on Titan? It would be methane/ethane based most likely. I think this is possible, just as I think there may be life in the universe based on silicon as well. Could there be somethings swimming in the methane lakes and rivers on Titan? Granted, it is extremely cold, but we have found life in both extremely hot places on earth, as well as extremely cold places on earth. I think its possible there is some type of life on Titan. We saw nothing in the pics from the landing of the Hugyens probe, but that doesn't mean its not there.

Meanwhile, they think the oceans on Europa could be as deep as 60 miles, with more water than earth! Its also very possible because of the friction on Europa caused by Jupiters immense gravity, that the water is warmed. Are there things swimming in the water there? Very possible.

As far as Enceladus, its description makes it sound a lot like Europa, cold and icy outside, maybe warm water beneath the surface.

Or is it possible there may be some type of alien life still on Mars? Or maybe even someplace else in our solar system.I am most interested personally, on what may be in or on Titan and Europa.

Try planet Earth!!

I once asked an Ouija board where was there life in our Solar system and it said Encelladus and a few of the other Moons.

Funny, but Earth isn't a moon.

backside of our moon

Seeing as how we know almost nothing about our own planet, its safe to say that some rudimentary forms of life could exist on all of our planetary neighbours and their moons.

Here on earth we have things that can live in purely alkaline environments
Or in the severe heat and toxic environment of underwater volcano vents.
Or the crushing depths of the ocean
I would say europa though as it may have liquid water underneath the ice on top, though i would love to be able to see if there is any life in the liquid methane seas of titan.

I really wish humanity would take space exploration more seriously. Its a fascinating place and holds great potential for the growth of humanity

But it IS a planet.

I think a good bet would be around undersea volcanic tubes in Europa for lifeforms. Pretty inhospitable planet overall, but the oceans are generally speaking always a good place to start.

How about... THE moon.

Planet earth, Washington DC. White House would be a good place to start.

But I believe they will find us before we find them.

The Death Star...

...Oh wait that's no moon it's a space station

-SAP-

Titan & Europa, plus lots of other planets we will never get to because they are too far away.

Earth. Theyve always been here.

I think Titan with the recent discovery of 2cm waves.

Scientist want to know why the biggest lakes are on the North Pole, and the bright areas around the lake. Besides the rocks and mountians being ice, there are also hydrocarbon sand dunes.

Mars Moon?
Europa is a moon of Jupiter, not Mars. lol

And personally I think Europa is going to be the first world we find other complex life on.
If I weren't poor I'd put some money on it. lol

If you really want to know, I think, personally, that it will be on the moon c2027-b-174-93, that is revolving around the planet MF943-5, in that far, far away galaxy...

But in actuality, I have no idea.

And me also, well the OP did leave it open, and quite frankly gave me the opportunity to say ," will ye all get to feck off my planet"...present company excepted of course.

Simple lesson really, if it walks like a duck...then it must be an alien.
