Titan, Is sorta similar to Earth if(lol) it was colonized would anyone in this Furom(snarf) like to live there or would you rather just 'visit'

We believed that life is there but it is likely hidden from our view

Yeah I think it has weak gravity so that would be awesome as well... Saturn's rings first hand.

Even if there isn't life, it does have organic chemicals by the ton and is a good model for what Earth was like very early on.

In fact, Titans atmosphere is thicker than Earths atmosphere, by about 50%-60% (yes I know, almost counterintuitive what with the lower gravity). So we will have to deal with air pressure, but its a good thing that we have plenty of practice with our ocean depths, which go to much greater pressures than 1.5 .

Just goes to show that good sized moons around gas giants have a chance to get an earth pressure atmosphere. Although its the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere even approaching or exceeding that of Earths atmospheric pressure.

Red Giant!

*Doesn't get the reference.

Are you talking about the show called Red Giant? I've heard of it, but never seen it.

Must be pretty cool to visit it.

Anyone get the WoW! signal reference?

I guess it'd be interesting to visit, as for living, that would depend completely on the infrastructure compared to Earth. I'd like seeing Saturn and its rings in the sky, but that's a small thing if it's a barren, boring wasteland.

It sounds fun but it would be a bad thing if someone died. Maybe they could put on spacesuits or something??

I wonder who Don Dixon is...

Weird no one got the sun as red giant reference...

vh · « **Reply #15 on:** May 20, 2012, 09:03:25 AM »

When the sun becomes a red giant, i guess Titan would cool off even more. It'd be much harder to live on.

Maybe we'll find methane breathing blue monkey's on Titan?

With that atmosphere?

Bla · « **Reply #19 on:** July 22, 2012, 02:22:05 AM »

I'd assume we would use oxygen tanks and spacesuits and stuff.

And the air inside buildings might be isolated from the atmosphere.

Oh you mean for viewing...

I see the atmosphere has haze layers which block out most light. :I So nvm. Titan is a terrible place.

Would you move to Titan
