While the probe is approaching the surface of Europa, Floyd is reading off the names of the chemicals detected. He says - 'Oxygen . Carbon . Chlorophyll . Is it organic?'. Well, yes, chlorophyll would be organic - it's a huge, complex molecule which gives plants their green colour - and nobody of Floyd's intelligence and education would need to ask. [He's asking a rhetorical question, sparked by his utter disbelief in what they've detected.] 4th Jul 05
