Geysers of Enceladus

There is a possibility that there are primitive lifeforms in the oceans of Enceladus
Alien life is an interesting thing. Even there is no alien base under the ice of the icy moons, the primitive aliens like alien amoebas can give new data about the biological processes of the life in extreme conditions. The icy moon is the paradise for the organisms that are living in the ocean of those moons. The radiation of the sun is extremely low on the surface of that moon, the surface temperature of Enceladus is 330 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (-201 C). And the lifeforms would live in absolute darkness deep under the ice core if they are existing.
That means they would be like organisms, what are living near black smokers in the deep bottom of the ocean, and they would benefit the geothermal heat in their energy production. So if we are dreaming of the injection of the genetic material of those lifeforms to the human bodies, we would create the thing, what should live in darkness like vampires. Those lifeforms that are living in absolute darkness and would be anaerobic will be burned because of the sunlight. And also free oxygen on the air would be poison to those organisms because free oxygen will increase chemical processes in the mitochondria.
What if we would find alien life on Enceladus?
The Saturnian moon Enceladus is a giant water ball, which is showering water across its trajectory. The geysers are proving that the tidal forces of Saturn and other moons will keep the ocean under the is in liquid form, and where is liquid water could be life. So what if we would find organisms under the ice. In some theories, there is some kind of humanoid space or station hovering under the ice.
The idea of the underwater space station is not very bad, because the water layer would protect the crew against cosmic radiation, and helps to keep that base secret. But the reality is that there could be some primitive organisms under the ice, and that is more probable than finding some intelligent lifeforms.
But what the alien life can make to us? The thing is that alien life can be a very revolutionary finding if that kind of lifeform is found. Even primitive lifeforms can offer researchers the data about the birth of life. Another version is that the primitive lifeforms can offer the astronauts in the future the possibility, what we ever imagine.
That thing is that astronauts can connect the genetic material of the extraterrestrial lifeforms in their cells, and that kind of genome therapy would make them more flexible than we ever imagine. And maybe genetic technology helps the colonists of tomorrow transforming their bodies for able to live in the other planets. But that kind of time is far away in the future.
