True, but if you can disassemble planets, you can certainly
assemble them. So you can conduct any number of experiments
to get any data you want.
I can construct a proto-Europa around a Jupiter mass black
hole and run the experiment for several gigayears and still
have the mass of Jupiter to use as useful computronium...
Most of it gets fed into the fusion reactors but the
~10 M_earth of heavier material at the core is really
usefuls stuff. No need to spend a lot of money now
sending a probe to Europa when the same funds could
be better spent accelerating the development of
planetary dismantlement nanobots.
Heck, the Systems Science Council would probably let
you run 10 Europa life creation experiments in parallel
if you just let them dismantle Jupiter and reallocate
it for more useful purposes.
