What’re the odds that we’ll one day inhabit Saturn’s largest moon? Probably more likely than colonizing Mars.
>>16938619Well, it's plausible enough that we could build domed moon bases, but I'm not sure what the point would be.
>>16938619We would have to get our own rocket fuel from Iran, it not looking good for any future where people aren't even serious about living together. In the future we won't need to go to Titan if we could star travel.
Depends if we can stop being retards and focus on survival. We're fucking earth epic style with trivial shit. We need to focus on getting fusion or some other energy source then work from there.
>>16938619>Probably more likely than colonizing Mars.Certainly not
>>1693861950/50 - it'll either happen or it won't
>>16938619Too far away. Worthless
We haven’t advanced space propulsion in 100 years. At current rate of progression it will take thousands of years
Slim to none. It's fucking far away and there are no resources to generate power
>>16938619Why would you want to?
>>16939495he likes the cold
>>16939011there are literally seas of liquid hydrocarbons but you are right that it's a pretty far-fetched proposal at this point. I would be interested in seeing a successor to cassini-huygens though
>>16945726They are useless without an oxygen rich atmosphere like ours though.
>>16938619we can't even reach a round trip around the moon without the toilet freezing over
>>16945742I mean there is plenty of oxygen on Titan, it would theoretically be possible to extract oxygen from the ice rocks or some other geological resources. but it would be a massive undertaking and would probably need fusion to be well established to get all the necessary energy, and a huge interplanetary industrial complex and space fleet. so many millenia away
>>16938619Taking over OPs thread here for a moment, but if our moon was more like Titan or Europa would space technology still have stagnated?
>>16946504it would be a lot of fun
>>16938619Titan has enough water and hydrocarbons that it could plausibly be subjected to large scale automated mining and other industrial activity in the somewhat far future, if there's a need for it. It doesn't make sense for people to try and live on it though. The few who do would be researchers, like on an Antarctic base
>>16946504>EuropaCan't answer that without knowing if some of the ice shell moons have life under the surface, or if we'll drill into them and find they are completely sterile
