Space Water Spouting From Saturn's Moon Means Space Water!
A moon off Saturn is is spouting water in such a way as to indicate the presence of, you know, a whole bunch of water. Cameras on NASA's Cassini probe (helmed by our favorite astronaut/rock star Dr. Carolyn Porco) first captured images of water vapor and ice particles shooting through cracks near the south pole of Enceladus, a small moon, about one-seventh the size of Earth's, six years ago. But physical samples of stuff, taken more recently with an on-board plasma spectrometer (I totally have to get one of those) reveal the presence of negatively charged water particles—usually evidence of liquid water activity such as crashing waves.
"While it's no surprise that there is water there, these short-lived ions are extra evidence for sub-surface water," said Dr. Andrew Coates from University College London's Mullard Space Science Laboratory. "And where there's water, carbon and energy, some of the major ingredients for life are present."
Spouting water, of course, generally indicates the presence of space dolphins. SPACE DOLPHINS!
'Space Dolphins' are a Trapper Keeper cover staple!

We must send a manned probe to make sure all the organisms of Enceladus' hidden seas accept Jesus Christ as their Lord'N'Savior.
Those lesser gravity dolphin flips will be awesome.
I got yer on-board plasma spectrometer right here.
I, for one, welcome our new Saturnian dolphin overlords.
Our Enceladus water is untouched by man and naturally filtered by something. Far from pollution. Far from acid rain. Far from industrial waste.
There's no question about it: Enceladus is far away. But when it comes to drinking water, "remote" happens to be very, very good.
My god. Just for one moment imagine that the on-board plasma spectrometer samples reveal that the negatively charged water particles contain trace evidence of acesulfame potassium. Just follow me on this for a moment. And in turn, suppose the acesulfame potassium residue shows cross-sample permutations containing both Sucralose and Neotame. My god… do you know what that could mean? Look, stop thinking linearly and listen to me! You have a plasma spectrometer sample showing trace acesulfame potassium, right? With both Sucralose and Neotame across all samples, right? Well… Jesus, it's elementary physics! Let me spell it out: If, just if, those ingredients were to combine in just the right way with Saturn's natural metallic hydrogen layer, and if, just if, someone, say, the Chinese, or the Russians even, were to send a satellite orbiter with, say, a five-kiloton charge packed with ascorbic acid, maltodextrin, calcium phosphate, guar and xanthan gums, and they were to detonate that charge at a sub-core distance of 1,500 meters… it is theoretically possible, just theoretically, mind you, that the natural occurring sodium acid pyrophosphate in the planet's sub-layer could combine in such a way that if a Kelvin-Helmholtz mechanism were to be triggered, well then… Gentlemen, we could have a permanent… off-planet source… for Tang.
This is wonderful!

That's just where Dorney Park tests their new rides before bringing them to earth. Enceladus is the Isla Sorna of space.
