1) Is it possible that complex life evolved in the oceans of Europa? Could we find it out with an unmanned mission, e.g. a robot who digs a hole there and goes "ice-fishing"?
2) Are there plans to get some samples from the orange organic rain on Titan back to earth?
3) 4 billion years ago Mars was a wet and warm planet and 4 billion years ago is also the time when life arose on Earth, coincidence? Or is it possible that life arose on Mars first and was carried to Earth, e.g. via meteorites?
4) Apart from the infamous "Wow! signal" from 1977, are you aware of other promising "beacon" signals that were detected since then? Were none of those detections repeatable?
5) Will spectroscopy be able to detect advanced civilizations via biological and technological footprints on other planets over the next 5-10 years?
6) Are there plans to try and terraform Mars in the future?
