Hi guys thank you so much for doing this AMA! I've always had a great interest in astronomy and the exploration of space and Europa has been one place that seemed like it had a great deal to teach us.

My question is what would be the following steps in life was discovered there or on any planet/moon for that matter? Would we attempt contact (if the life appeared to be intelligent)? Would we take specimen for study if they were still young in their evolutionary stages? Or would we simply observe from a distance and let natural evolution continue with no risk of interfering?

Thank you all again for your time and taking a moment to answer all of these questions!

Thank you all for doing this AMA! You guys are doing amazing work! I have a few questions. If the first asteroid retrieval mission were to be a success would you all plan more for the future? If so, how often would you hope to see these types of missions take place? Finally, would you plan on capturing larger asteroids for study or perhaps landing on one in the future?
