Babelfish Is Fun Things I learned by translating this German article about the Galileo probe: It's a darned good thing they're crashing it into Jupiter. If not: "The astronomers of NASA fear that in such a case pathogens could possibly endanger existing life on Europe." In face, pathogens could be the least of the problem. NASA's working to prevent a situation in which Galileo "breaks Europe open inadvertently on the Jupiter moon". Heck, even the probe itself is worried about this, according to the sub-hed: "Spacecraft is in the atmosphere glowing - from concern around possible contamination of the moon Europe" I also learned about the guy who has possibly the coolest job ever: "NASA astronomer John Rummel responsible for the protection of planets."
