Triton as astrobiology priority

Triton, Neptune’s large retrograde moon, may host cryovolcanism and a subsurface ocean; studying it reframes the outer solar system from remote curiosity to a strategic set of targets for life‑detection and future missions. Emphasizing Triton shifts scientific and policy attention (and potential funding) toward Neptune‑system exploration, not just Jupiter/Saturn moons. — If communicated widely, this reframing could influence NASA/ESA mission roadmaps, public support for flagship outer‑planet missions, and debate about scientific priorities and budgets.
