Colonizing Saturn's moon - Titan

[K9Buck]

None of us will be alive to see it, but it would certainly be fascinating. The author makes a case for why Titan is a better option for humans to inhabit than Mars.

We haven't even properly colonized Detroit ...

 

[Gracie]

If a planet does not have water or oxygen..none is fit for colonization.

 

[ScienceRocks]

I say we fucking do it!

as a stepping stone towards a more habitual planet.

 

[fncceo]

habitual

Did you mean habitable?

Or did you mean this?

Might be nice if you like your summers at the temperature of liquid nitrogen, and a sun as bright as the moon.

 

[waltky]

Yeah, but then...

... the anti-colonial movement...

... will want to throw off the shackles...

... an' run things themselves...

... which we all know hasn't worked in Africa,

Move Venus into earth orbit on the opposite side of the sun and provide it with a moon of similar size to our moon. Speed up the rotation and give it a slight tilt. Skim off the atmosphere and bring in some ice comets to provide water.

Walla. A habitable planet approximately the same surface area as earth.

*****SMILE*****

Other than a surface temp of 850, PERFECT!

If it's moved to 93,000,000 miles from the sun and most of the atmosphere is skimmed off it'll start being very earth like. The current extremely dense atmosphere creates a noticeable green house effect because it's like heating up a water filled boiler.

[CarlinAnnArbor]

Yeah, well start moving that planet today.

Face it. There are no worlds for us but this one. None.

We live in a computer generated universe and this is all there really is. God sits outside this universe He created for us and watches as we fulfill our destiny to be born into the God Family.

Oh!!!!! You want an easier solution. Hollow out an asteroid, give it a spin, and fill it with what you want.

What makes a nation great is we do things.

When we stop = we're no longer great.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Of course from a bunch of assholes that believe we should be transformed into a third world country this doesn't fucking suprise me.

Go fuck yourselfs.

 

[ScienceRocks]

This is why I hate loserterinaism! What you want is for America to not be great and to just rot into another fucking somalia.

Imagine the tech advancements and the advantages of controlling all the resources all the way to saturn.

I am fucking right! What you fuckers want is for America to become another sheep fucking religious shit hole that doesn't do shit. Doing such things as the above is what separates our society from the rest of the fucked up world.

That is a fact.

 

[ScienceRocks]

LOL,

People like you wouldn't want to fix Detroit or any other part of the earth. Fuck, you want to transform the first world into the third world. Heres a little hint for you...>America is wealthy because we do things, educate our children and take advantage of the world around us. The third world sits around and looks at the other guys asshole all day and bitch about poor old me.

Taking advantage of all those resources in our own solar system is the best way to bring up the rest of the world.

Either way we can do both....

I like how he said we wouldn't need bulky space suits then mentioned the tempeture and the fact that we would need a respirator.


Unless we figure out a new way of getting rockets to rocket w/o propulsion, we aren't going anywhere that isn't a one way suicide mission.
