Some people seem to be having trouble with the phrase 'fossil fuels'. The chemistry of Titan, largely methane based, are not fossilised life, but neither are fossil fuels on Earth, generally. Coal is fossilised plant matter, but oil is not actually a fossil substance. In most cases the term 'fossil fuel' simply means that it is already existing, having been created by processes taking millions of years.

@Baleur

Thats not really true though.... It is true that 99.999% of oil is NOT consisting of "dead dinosaur meat". But most of the oil IS in fact ancient, billion year accumulation deposits of mainly sea bacteria and algae, that have been drifting to the seabed upon death, then graduall over hundreds of millions to billions of years, have been compressed and decomposed into what we call oil. The reason for this is that you need an absolute "FUCKTON" (technical term) of biomass to compress into enough oil to be noticeable. Even all the dinosaurs / fossils that have existed wont make up even a percent of enough biomass to account for just the crude oil on earth. But the bacteria since 2 billion years back, does. So you're right in some ways, but completely wrong saying its not life, at least on earth. So wether or not the organic compounds on Titan is due to ancient / current life, who knows.

@LeoStaley

I'm still confused. I thought fossil fuel exclusively referred to biomass that had been compressed over very long periods. Fossil fuel comes from formerly living things.

I want to wrap up warm, and have an oxygen supply, so I can get on a custom-made boat and sail across the hydrocarbon seas and down streams and rivers with low gravity and a dense atmosphere, allowing me to glide at times when I go too fast over any waves . . .

These people claim to speak for all Hawaiians and it’s not how all locals and native Hawaiians feel. They also claim it’s a illegal build because Hawaii they think Hawaii it not a real state. Astronomy puts over 160 million dollars a year into our states economy and gives high skill jobs. Tmt also plans to pay a million dollars a year in rent that goes to mountain conservation and office of Hawaiian Affairs, also put millions a year into our local school system. The protesters end goal is to have all observatories removed from the mountain by 2033 and that would cripple the astronomy world in the northern hemisphere, and really hurt my home and the next generation.

If what youre saying is true then they clearly have no reason to protest this site. But people are also protesting the Keystone pipeline that will connect Canada and the U.S where we get millions of gallons of oil for free from Canada. It makes no sense because this oil gain could drop the price of gas by over 30% but because a certain individual wants it now its apparently bad despite the good it would do. I dont see a problem with building giant telescopes honestly with the amount of amazing discoveries in recent years so it makes no sense as to why they would protest it. Maybe they think their logic is valid but that still doesnt condon their illegal actions such as blocking the road. The police should have forced them off the area by now.

@@Turrican60 yes, I couldn't agree more. I feel very strongly (would bet my life) that there are other planets out there, brimming with life...I imagine the alien landscapes/seascapes, what life & death battles must be raging, what might it sound or smell like, the sunrises & sunsets (multiple suns?) the moons that glow in many skies (unrecognizable star patterns) stranger than we can imagine. The Earth is amazing, dinosaurs to jellyfish, who'd think our little world could be so diverse., then to think of the universe, incredibly old & enormous...boggles the mind :) Breaks my heart that we can't see it. Maybe, somewhere out there, other intelligent beings are just as curious.

@@ironsnowflake1076 So much to see, so much to be astonished by, yet all any of us have is a relatively few short years to live. Even then, I have to feel envious of our descendants as what will be common knowledge to them is far beyond our grasp. Still, I guess it's our misfortune to be born at the 'wrong' time, I suppose, though I'm not entirely convinced there's ever a 'right' time, lol. Apologies for a very late reply. 😉

Two years since Cassini's end of mission not three. September 15, 2017. Otherwise great video.
