Well we got the first photo back from titan and it looks strangly earth like.
Not saying theres anything there though.

can you say " liquid methane"? i knew you could!

liquid ethane actually, and that surface is more broken up than a greasy teenager

mmmmm, i could go for a freezing glass of liquid ethane right now....

I hope your not a smoker....can you say KABOOOOM!

That's pretty cool!

What would be cooler is to find an efficient way of transporting the stuff back to Earth.

It would ease up our dependency on Middle Eastern oil and plus, have unlimited fuel for the Aurora X-plane!

On top of it all, Saturn, the mother of Titan, should be somehow tapped for it's almost limitless (Iknow it's finite) supply of deuterium and tritium.

No more fossil fuels forever!

Before that first we have to efficiently find a way to get all the excess water from rivers and lakes to places where there is no water.

Maybe next we would think about liquid methane.

What do you say?

And what would you use as energy source for transporting them to Earth?
Remember that it takes big rockets to send only couple tons of "cargo" to there. Same way it would take lot of energy to get stuff to inner solar system from there.

And "efficiency" of this transportation would be very lousy.

Nah, we just need a really big bendy straw

but atleast when bush finds oiut about it he'll stop trying to drill in alaska cause he'll think we have a new power source
