Congratulations to the European Space Agency, which last week put the first
probe onto the surface of Saturn's moon Titan. Since the atmosphere of Titan
contains large amounts of prebiotic compounds, let's hope the ESA really
scrubbed that probe to remove all microbes and DNA traces. If astronomers
suddenly observe huge tentacled beasts growing around where the probe
landed, that won't be cool.
