Liquid on Titan!

Post #1by BobHegwood » 01.08.2008, 22:03

See one AP press release located HERE.
It has been confirmed that Titan's surface does feature liquid lakes.
I guess we'll know where the oil companies are going to be drilling next. :wink:

Unfortunately, the current market value for the natural gas reserves in the largest sea on Titan (assuming an average depth of 10 meters) is only 20.43 trillion USD. The cost to retrieve the methane would be more than the available reserves given current technology and the market value of natural gas.

Oh.

Well okay. Then we can cut costs, and simply not return from Titan. Industrialise Titan and make it our new home?
