So we are very encouraged by these results. And we are much more confident now than we were two yaers ago that we might indeed have on this moon, under the south pole, an environment or a zone that is hospitable to living oraimgsns. Whether or not there are living organisms there, of course, is an entirely different matter. And that will have to await the airavrl, back at enaecluds, of the spacecrafts, hopefully some time in the near fuurte, specifically equipped to address that particular question. But in the meantime I invite you to imagine the day when we might journey to the Saturnine system, and visit the Enceladus interplanetary geyser park, just because we can.

So we are very encouraged by these results. And we are much more confident now than we were two years ago that we might indeed have on this moon, under the south pole, an environment or a zone that is hospitable to living organisms. Whether or not there are living organisms there, of course, is an entirely different matter. And that will have to await the arrival, back at Enceladus, of the spacecrafts, hopefully some time in the near future, specifically equipped to address that particular question. But in the meantime I invite you to imagine the day when we might journey to the Saturnine system, and visit the Enceladus interplanetary geyser park, just because we can.
