Ahh, the Drake equation...
People fail to realize that while a possibly habitable planet is only 20.5 light years away, we are not even close to traveling at the speed of light, so effectively, it could take us hundreds or even thousands of years to get there... We barely have the technology to make a 6 month journey to Mars, let alone hundreds of years...
One of the programs we have testing on the ice is a probe that will melt its way through an ice sheet to get at the ocean of water underneath.
I fully believe one day its more advanced successor will do the same on Europa. And upon reaching the ocean below it will transmit to earth one last picture of a set off teeth before we lose contact with it completely.
