With the news from NASA - that Europa may support life. It most likely has a warm salty sea under the ice. with the low gravity, the water might not be crushing as gravity is only a fraction of Earth's gravity. Oh, and it has oxygen that might support a lot of fish for example.
Would it be justified to introduce Earth biological species for future space travelers?
It isn't a new concept. Sailors of wooden ships use to release mammals ranging from rabbits, goats, pigs or deer on inhabited islands for the same reason. Of course, domesticated farm animals from Europe were introduced to the Americas. The modern Horse was introduced too.
A moon with a small gravity field could make a great place to land, drill an Ice Hole, sent the UAV down to collect some fish and go back to the asteroid space station.
If there is no intelligent life (even like whales), why not use the resources?
What are your thoughts?
Are we 15 years away from making the decision? And, 30 years from making it so?
