“Maybe it would be warm, maybe it would be the source of a plume. That could be somewhere that in the future maybe NASA could send a lander to scoop down below the surface and literally search for signs of life.”
That's the dream. But it makes sense to do this mission without a lander, to learn more about the ice sheet and ocean first.
This video from Veritasium is very interesting. He dives into the various technical challenges this mission poses: https://youtu.be/DJO_9auJhJQ?si=PwQOsOh5vaTdKNE_

What's the latest on the batch of semiconductors that were installed and NASA found out from the manufacturer a few weeks before launch that they probably won't meet the radiation resilience that they initially stated they could?

Here's hoping we don't end up with another safe mode...
