Chris McKay, a planetary scientist at NASA's Ames research centre, in California, points out that, as Cassini has already demonstrated, the water jets make a mission easy.

NASA位于加利福尼亚州艾姆斯研究中心的卫星科学家克里斯·麦凯指出，正如卡西尼号已经证明的那样，水射流能够让任务变得简单。

However, scientists must come up with a way to do that using the mission's existing scientific instruments, said NASA astrobiologist and Phoenix co-investigator Chris McKay.

NASA的太空生物学家兼‘凤凰’合作投资者克里斯。迈凯说，然而科学家们必须想出一个方法能通过利用任务中现有的科学仪器来做到。

NASA astrobiologist Chris McKay said: 'If these signs do turn out to be a sign of life, it would be doubly exciting because it would represent a second form of life independent from water.

美国宇航局天体生物学家麦克凯伊说：“如果最终被证实为生命迹象，这将是双重惊喜。 因为它不仅证明了外太空有生命存在，同时还意味着与地球生命迥然不同的、并非以水为生的第二种生命形式也存在。”
