The Bizarre Characteristics of Titan | Our Solar System's Moons: Titan

Everything you could want to know about Saturn's biggest moon, Titan. In this video we go through Titan's lakes, its volcanoes, atmosphere, and everything else that makes Titan so special.
Please note that this is a reupload, as the original was taken down through a DMCA, but a lot of people have requested for me to upload it again. I've gone through all the footage and switched out anything that might have a hint of copyright problems so hopefully this will stay up this time.

    Due to the low gravity and dense atmosphere, it would be incredibly easy to send a flying drone to titan. It would cost such little energy to keep flying that it could get all its power from a nuclear isotope and keep flying for many years. It could probably scan the entire surface in great detail.

    Hi Alex! Great video -- you helped me learn some much about this awesome moon. I'm surprised you didn't mention APL's Dragonfly proposal for NASA's New Frontiers Program! APL hopes to send a quadcopter to explore Titan's surface... which may be one of the coolest unmanned space missions yet. It's in competition with another proposal, CESEAR (headed up by Cornell University). Learn more here about Dragonfly here... dragonfly.jhuapl.edu/index.php and kzread.info/dash/bejne/n59l3Lixp9Sdf5c.html . Funny enough, I worked on this logo and website for this proposal! So, I'm very biased :P Assuming NASA chooses Dragonfly, you'll see a real mission to explore Titan sooner than expected!

    The thing that fascinates me the most about Titan is that it’s not only geologically active, but it appears to also have geological cycles similar to Earth Systems (I guess we would call them “Titan Systems” in this case), which arguably can be seen as a sign of life. The fact that Titan also has an atmosphere reminiscent of the early Earth also further suggests microbial life. We’re living in a really exciting time in astronomy and I hope the Dragonfly mission is fruitful!

    How incredible would that find be? I think that is science’s most fatal flaw in their search for life in the universe… They’re looking at it from a strictly human based perspective; carbon based life. Yes, it’s the main form of life here on Earth, but just like carbon, silicon is capable of four way bonds and can sustain long molecular chains… the only difference is that it crystallizes in the presence of oxygen, but can survive much, much harsher temperatures than carbon based life. Isn’t it possible then that bacteria could exist on much colder worlds throughout the universe, the galaxy, or hell, even throughout our solar system? Maybe silicon based life exists on Titan, it could subsist on liquid methane/ammonia/some other compound and emit a totally different byproduct? We are strictly searching for carbon based life that subsists on liquid water, must be in the habitable zone around its planet’s star, breathes oxygen, etc. scientists are simply looking for EARTH based life on other planets. Life as we don’t know it could be vastly different from how we understand it… And I think it would be beneficial in the long run to begin looking for life in other forms!

    The probability of life might be so low, that even in the trillions of planets that exist they would all be void of living organisms. In fact, it could be so low that even in billions or quadrillions of Universes their would only be life on 1 planet in 1 universe which would be us. That's assuming multiverse exist, if not that we are likely alone. We have confirmation bias since we exist, we assume other life may exist. However, we can ONLY exist here on Earth so we have a 100% chance of living here and no where else.

So while the pressure of the planet is nice, meaning you'd merely need to protect yourself from the cold, this actually presents a greater challenge then simply protection from depressurization. Its relatively easy to keep a space station warm in a vacuum but to keep a moon base warm with 1.45 atmospheres of pressure at -180 degrees, that would be tough! Power failure = death.

    It's amazing to know that this image IS one of Titan's actual surface! Just knowing that this is a place we could go to for research reasons or any reason; once atmospheric and travel restrictions are overcome and conquered. Probably by 2120 by which time I'll be dead and buried unfortunately. Honestly not trying to be negative or dark, just wish like hell we could easily travel around within our solar system. That would be absolutely amazing!

    I remember a short fiction of two spacefaring species meeting. The visitors had to wait for a long time for their ship and their suits to cool down, as their bodies were boiling hot, with lava flowing through their veins. They came from a hell-planet that would burn the natives alive, while the visitors would turn to stone without their ultra-heated suits keeping their bodies hot enough to move. The story ends revealing the visitors being humans, stepping out into the cool drizzle of ammonia, which had just stopped boiling from the heat radiating from withon our lading vehicle, for we have melted minerals (ice) running through our veins, our bodies glowing like an edison bulb in the aliens' eyes, while ours can only see in the ultra-red spectrum.

Usually it makes fun of human psychology, but this one males a statement about our physiology. It actually also poses the question of "which is the fuel and which is the air?" in a world that hasn't been oxygenated like ours.

    Enceladus is the most interesting moon of Saturn to me. I firmly believe there is life there. And that humans can survive there. There are so many places in our own solar system that might support human life. And we really need to explore them. And the sooner the better. Exploration I's what we do best. And we really need our eggs in more than a single basket. And yes good people will die in the process. Let's get busy. We have no other choice.
