Re: life on onther planets
the hydrocarbons in a nitrogen/methane atmosphere would definitely be an alien brew.
​
One of the current problems is that we only have one sample of life right now. So it's pretty hard to say what general conditions are needed until we get a few more samples.
​
One open question is whether we would be able to recognize life it was significantly different from the one sample we do have. We even have trouble finding the line between living and non-living within the forms that we do know about.

Re: life on other planets
Everything is currently orbiting Jupiter and functioning well so far. For more information on all of the Jupiter missions go to NASA and search on Jupiter and Saturn. You'll findd lots of information on their composition.
​
But I think I'm wrong on the date. The date I gave you is for the release of the Saturn probe.

Re: life on other planets
That's what I was saying. It is not the Jupiter mission but the Saturn one. The probe is meant for Titan. I was incorrect in first saying it was Jupiter.
​
But IIRC, at the end of the Galileo mission, just about a year ago, it plunged into Jupiter's atmosphere.
