Signs of liquid water in Saturnian moon | International Space Fellowship
Woo! Awesome! Very probable that geothermic reactions are heating the icy moon, creating a liquid ocean under the icy crust. This makes Enceladus a prime target for searching for extraterrestrial life forms; it has liquid water. This increases the likelihood of life (as we know it, anyway) by a huge factor.
NASA has preliminary plans for deploying a submersible to the moon. They're testing it in Antarctica. It'll have to drill through possibly as much as a mile or more worth of ice before deploying the submersible. Really exciting.

Oops, I got the mission mixed up with the one headed for Europa. In any case, this is equally exciting. This gives us at least two planetoids to explore.

I disagree on the Cool Knowledge™ and Good Banter™ comment vehemently, but I don't know why.

The entire Washington DC area has had snow days yesterday and today (and likely tomorrow), so I'm deep into cabin fever here.

As a salesman, I do a lot of traveling. And when it comes to lunch, I grab what I can, usually on the run. And when I want mineral water, I keep it simple, and I keep it domestic.
I drink Swill. The water that's dredged from Lake Erie.
Nothing's added to Swill. It comes straight from the Lake to you. Maybe you thought only European countries had mineral water, but let me tell you: we bottle some pretty special water right here in America.
Yeah. America. Water with a character all its own. Swill's refreshing; it's low in calories; and Swill helps wash down a hearty meal like this that tends to just lay in your stomach. I like mine with a twist.
Swill. Everything you've always wanted in a mineral water. And more.
