| As far as I know, Titan is FAR too cold to support any type of life - they're talking about how those rounded rocks were probably made from rivers of liquid methane. At those temperatures, water would be in a permanent solid form unless there is some source of heat enough to raise temperatures above the freezing point of water, which is highly unlikely. I'd expect to see life on IO before I'd see it on Titan  |

Honestly not to be mean but I find all this space crap stupid. Yeah its good for some things but why worry about other planets when we dont know half of the shit that is going on here. |

True, like most things it's much too far-fetched to worry about for more than a day. It's still somewhat fascinating but I'd rather not ponder of it for more than an hour, that's for them to worry about.  |

Cool! I saw a doccumentry about Titan the other day. They said it's much more probable of us living there than on Mars, and that those huge cracks on it's suface constantly open and close up daily.  |

| umm you do know if that stuff is flowing as i have heard it may be then unless theres a layer effect. there is no way in hell there could be life...that stuff might be liquid gases | |||

You are right though, the scientists working on the Cassini Huygens probe think the channels were cut by liquid methane. Apparently we know there's already water, but it's frozen at the poles like on Earth and Mars. |

| Well, the ground temperature of Titan is -300 farenheit. And if anyone thought that this was a walk in the park...Well, we didn't know anything about whats under those clouds. Its simple landing is immensely important. | |||

| Landing on Titan wasn't the most difficult landing in the solar system, but there's always thing we can't predict when it comes to landing. We had a pretty good idea of what Titan was like, and I think had Huygens landed in an ocean, we would've been prepared. The most difficult landing in the solar system is undoubtbly either a comet or Venus. The heat on Venus was high enough to melt the lens cap of the camera, and fry the internal circuitry before many photos could be taken. |

| guys, when you say a place has water, make sure you specify if it is ice, as is the case with europa. titan might have lakes and rivers of ethane. below the cold surface of these moons may have the right temperature for liquid water, but we would have a hard time probing for geothermal/subsurface life there. | |||

Originally posted by Ziffski No, what I mean is that when there's less energy on a world, the world's creatures will have a slower metabolism or whatever, and their rate of reproduction and evolution will be slower. This is a general biological rule that can be observed on our own world, I believe, by comparing the lives of low-energy organisms and high-energy ones. |

| yeah, you're right. it would be ridiculous to assume the same species of complex organisms are present in other places in the universe given the randomness of mutations and natural selection. but, it's believed silicon based lifeforms are a possibility because of the similar chemical properties of silicon and carbon. | |||

Image that NASA doesnt want you to see!  Now for a REAL opinion: We have lots of problems on this Earth, so why do we spend all our money that we could use to help developing countries on finding out there's absolutely nothing of any importance in the solar system? |

| why don't you use your money that you would normally spend for internet and cable service each month and donate that? there's nothing intelligent on here anyway. then encourage all your neighbors to do the same, and notify the government of your actions. the government is funded through taxes, which are supposed to be used on programs that benefit its people. nobody wants a paycheck that says 10% monrovia fund tax. president bush cut the nasa budget tremendously already, not to allocate more funds to poor countries, though. everyone's churning out money for this tsunami relief fund, but no one has the time of day for any other charity. the world is full of suffering, and it won't be fixed until education and family planning programs are widespread; women, men, and all races have equal rights; technological advances occur there, etc. in other words, people look out for themselves first, family or friends after, and strangers once a decade. that is why we have a space program. |

| if we simply relocated impoverished people to the moon, mars, etc, why would we even have to worry about feeding them? | |||

Originally posted by duffjrThe money spent on sending them there could be spent on feeding them here. Besides, there is already enough money/food/resources to feed every last human being on the face of this planet. The trouble is that these resources tend to be concentrated into particular places (developed nations), affording those who live in those places a life of affluence, to the detriment of those in places we call the "third world". |
