Lakes of Natural gas and other good stuff in our wildest dre

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

On February 13, 2008, scientists announced that, according to Cassini data, Titan hosts within its polar lakes "hundreds of times more natural gas and other liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth." The desert sand dunes along the equator, while devoid of open liquid, nonetheless hold more organics than all of Earth's coal reserves.[15].

Models of oscillations in Titan's atmospheric circulation suggest that over the course of a Saturnian year, liquid is transported from the equatorial region to the poles, where it falls as rain. This might account for the equatorial region's relative dryness.[16]

Now this alone makes space travel well worth it. In really so if our resources ever become few and far between as some think. This would pay for a expansion of space travel and mining and drilling oparations. I don't understand why the Natural gas ceo's are not going crazy?

For one there would be NO RED TAPE. Because this is another world(moon), so any energy corp that did land on titan would do as it pleases and as soon as it gets set up, it can send titans finest back to earth. Guest what Energy corps NO TAXES; because this is outside of earth they would get to keep the huge amount of money that they could from this, also with little red tape they could get set up fast. So it would likely be well worth it to send a ship full of man to titan for one of the energy corps.

Who ever that doe's it will be one very rich ceo, maybe more so then Bill gates.

Well, it is a very long trip to there and back. One is talking about the fact that it would cost billions of dollars, with absolutely no guarantee the stuff from there could pay it off. Besides, if there is any oxygen aboard the craft used, one spark and your $$$ goes "boom"

It sounds more logical at this point to think about how to replace oil than to think we can pump natural gas and hydrocarbons from Titan.
