This video discusses how blind shrimp can survive in extreme microclimates at the edge of thermal vents 16,000 feet below the Caribbean.

It will be great when the Mars 2020 Rover lands with the Core Preview Bit and can take samples, then leave them in a Sample Cache for retrieval by a future lander. How about directing rovers to an ancient stream or riverbed for core samples. Maybe NASA is just happy to get a lander to the surface of a planet and then they just pick out what to explore in the nearby area instead of pinning their hopes of doing such and such experiment if only they can land near such and such location.

Whatever the case, a bright future lies ahead in the exploration of planets and their satellites. :)

Life like shrimps is a lot more complicated than what exobiologists are hoping to find swimming deep in the seas of europa but I am sure such a find would really set the no life beyond earth crowd on their behinds.

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

My guess, would be to see -- in addition to shrimp and other vent creatures --
all sorts of jellyfish. Worth the trip, for us.
