1. On the other hand...

...Io is in the thick of Jupiter's radiation belts, which is rough on complex chemistries like the building blocks of life.

4. And there is only a very, very weak of H-O signature on the surface of Io.

On the other hand, subterranean life is well protected from radiation and nobody has a clue how the bright sulfurous reds, yellows and greens on Io could have formed from simple chemical reactions. Theorizing subterranean thermophilic sulfurous archae would solve the color problem quite neatly.

2. Until the Last Picture,

I thought this was all about earth. There is a possibility that life originated here not in the "tidal pools" you read about in school, but at high temperatures beneath the earth's surface.
