...it would probably not be intelligent in the way that humans think of that quality. On Earth, after all, there have been billions of different forms of life yet only one species has had "intelligence."
More likely, any life found on Europa would be so-called lower life forms such as found deep undersea on Earth near thermal vents or the many other simpler invertebrates. Without light and heat, could vertebrate life evolve?
Importantly, the video informs that any NASA probes will not land on Europa. Instead, it would fly through the supposed water-vapor plumes to sample their contents. This is important because we wouldn't biologically interfere with any life within Europa. The Mars rovers are not allowed to go to certain areas for the same reason. But it's remarkable that our technological accomplishments make it possible to even talk about such an endeavor let alone accomplish it! Consider, to send a scientific platform hundreds of millions of miles and then accurately navigate to within hundreds of yards of a target and then conduct experiments to further our understanding of our universe! Human intelligence has accomplished amazing things.
Unfortunately, our species has also produced the idiot, Donald Trump.
