A week ago I posted a quip from Neil deGrasse Tyson about ice fishing on Europa. I was vaguely
expecting someone to reply "All these worlds are yours except Europa," but nobody did. Oh well.
*I* thought it, anyway.

Sorry, I thought it, but since the topic has been pretty hot on my astronomy forums, I didn't bother mentioning it.

Since I think that any ice fishing on Europa is at least forty years in our future, I don't contemplate it is a very literal way.

It's been almost 6 years since this article

which sounds kind of discouraging to me. I expect Europa to be safe from us
for quite a long time...

1st reaction: "All these worlds are yours except Europa" Naturally, the one with all the great ice fishing is the one that's off limits.

2nd reaction: Would I seem geekier if I countered with "All your ropa are belong to us"?
