The Beckoning of the Ice Worlds

So Star wars had it right (empire strikes back). Funny it took us years to come to this conclusion but heat radiation does not due well with thick atmospheres.

Its also a surprise that we are doing some testing in the South Pole but clearly its a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things in terms of future exploration and robots testing and enduring freezing conditions.

Check out the movie Europa Report if you want an advance look at what lurks below the ice.
