Search For Alien Life: Robots Will Dig Through Moon Ice With Buzzsaws, Catapults

If we’re ever going to find alien life in outer space, we may have to dig deep — into the thick ice of a another planet’s surface.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has put together a bunch of robot prototypes that could traverse and bore through ice on moons in the farthest reaches of our solar system, ones that scientists believe may contain liquid oceans and thus potentially could be harboring extraterrestrial life.
